INTERVALS - MARIANNE BROOKER KARTONIERT (TB)

"What makes a good death? A good daughter? In 2009  with her forties and a harsh wave of
austerity on the horizon  Marianne Brooker's mother was diagnosed with primary progressive
multiple sclerosis. She made a workshop of herself and her surroundings  combining creativity
and activism in inventive ways. But over time  her ability to work  to move and to live without
pain diminished drastically. Determined to die in her own home  on her own terms  she stopped
eating and drinking in 2019. In Intervals  Brooker reckons with heartbreak  weaving her first
and final memories with a study of doulas  living wills and the precarious economics of social
hospice and funeral care. Blending memoir  polemic and feminist philosophy  Brooker joins
writers such as Anne Boyer  Maggie Nelson  Donald Winnicott and Lola Olufemi to raise essential
questions about choice and interdependence and  ultimately  to imagine care otherwise."--
