“Joshua Cody, a brilliant young composer, was
about to receive his PhD when he was diagnosed with an aggressive cancer.
Facing a bone-marrow transplant and full radiation, he charts his struggle: the
fury, the tendency to self-destruction, and the ruthless grasping for life and
sensation; the encounter with a strange woman on Canal Street that leads to sex
at his apartment; the detailed morphine fantasy complete with a bride called
Valentina while, in reality, hospital staff are pinning him to his bed. Moving
effortlessly between references to Don Giovanni and the Rolling Stones, Ezra
Pound and Buffalo Bill, and facsimiles of his own diaries and hospital
notebooks, [sic] is a cross between Susan Sontag's Illness as Metaphor and Jay
McInerny's Bright Lights, Big City: a mesmerizing, hallucinatory glimpse into a
young man's battle against disease and a celebration of art, language, music,
and life. 30 black-and-white illustrations.”
