Lippincott Company, 1973. first edition. hardcover. 8vo 312pp. from front flap: "I have quite often wondered what it would be like to be told that I had an inoperable and lethal cancer," Stewart Alsop writes. He found out on July 6, 1971, when he was told that he had a kind of leukemia that was likely to kill him in a year, and almost surely in two. Writing movingly but without sentimentality, Alsop describes what it means to live with a terminal disease and to confront daily the prospect of one's own death."
