Book Description
The sun has just popped out, after a heavy shower; the washing line a string of pearls. It s time to live. On Valentine s Day, 2006, Anthony Wilson was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin s lymphoma, a cancer of the lymphatic system. He was 42. In this journal of the days that followed he contemplates love, family and mortality alongside celebrations of Peter Osgood, Ivor Cutler and cooking chicken while listening to funk .
