“I wasn’t in the radiology suite, wearing my scrubs and white coat. I was dressed in a patient’s gown, tethered to an IV pole, using the computer the nurse had left in my hospital room, with my life, Lucy, an internist, at my side.” (Kalanithi, 1) “When Breath Becomes Air” by Paul Kalanithi is a New York Times Bestseller memoir of a young Neurosurgeon facing a battle with cancer. The novel is a heartbreaking yet inspiring memoir that explores the border between life and death. While being physically tortured with chemotherapy, he struggles to find his hopes in a life that only awaits death. The readers are left to consider many psychological questions about life: What is the value of life, and what does it mean to have no other future but death?
