Gideon Burrows has inoperable brain cancer that is slow growing but is inevitably going to kill him. He has written a remarkable book about his experience, This Book Won’t Cure Your Cancer. He is a professional wordsmith, and he describes his experience of illness so vividly that the reader enters into his life, feels what he feels, and shares his suspense about what the next scan or doctor visit will reveal.
