Annabelle Gurwitz
The End of My Life Is Killing Me: The Unexpected Joys of a Cancer Slacker

When Annabelle Gurwitch is unexpectedly diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer, she refuses to follow the script of the inspirational survivor. Instead, she becomes a self-proclaimed “cancer slacker,” meeting fear and uncertainty with humor, honesty, and irreverence. As she navigates illness, mortality, and the flaws of the healthcare system, she finds comfort in unexpected places: mythology, comedy, friendship, small pleasures, and life’s everyday absurdities. With warmth, wit, and remarkable candor, Gurwitch celebrates resilience not through grand, heroic gestures but through ordinary moments of joy and connection.

No cost.
