When she begins therapy for depression after breast cancer treatment,
the author brings with her an extraordinarily open and critical mind,
but also shyness about revealing herself. Resisting easy responses to
issues of dependence, desire, and mortality, she warily commits to a
male therapist who shares little of her cultural and intellectual
world. Although not without pain, their improvised relationship is as
unexpectedly pleasurable as her writing is unconventional: Sedgwick
combines dialogue, verse, and even her therapist's notes to explore
her interior life--and delivers and delicate and tender account of
how we arrive at love.
