In this bold, fascinating book, Eula Biss addresses our fear of the federal government, the medical status quo, and what could also be in our kids’s air, food, mattresses, medicines, and vaccines. Reflecting on her own revel in as a new mother, she suggests that we can’t immunize our kids, or ourselves, against the sector. As she explores the metaphors surrounding immunity, Biss extends her conversations with other mothers to meditations at the myth of Achilles, Voltaire’s Candide, Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring, Susan Sontag’s AIDS and Its Metaphors, and beyond. On Immunity is an inoculation against our fear and a moving account of how we are all interconnected-our bodies and our fates.
