What is Being Authentic : a Memoir about?
160 pages ; 23 cm "On the eve of Thanksgiving 2016, I received the diagnosis of stage 4 lung cancer. Next to dying, I fear the spread of cancer to my brain and losing my ability to think, speak, or write. This loss would be devastating to me. The fragility of our life made me want to be authentic. Therefore, I am writing this memoir to be authentic--we become our true selves when we author who we are. I am afraid of being forgotten. Death does frighten me. But more than dying, I am scared of having no one remember me or, even worse, of being recognized differently from who I was. At the same time, I have never thought that I was entitled to ask others not to forget me. But, not to be forgotten is precisely what I yearn for. While I am writing for the other, I am simultaneously writing for myself. I am one of the readers and will test the subject as it gets written. My criteria are stricter. I want to say, 'This is my narrative.' I need to be able to say, 'This is my narrative.'"--Amazon.com
