«When Breath Becomes Air» is Paul Kalanithi's memoir, published by Random House UK in paperback (229 pages, in English).
Paul Kalanithi, a neurosurgeon in training, was diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer at the age of thirty-six. The book traces his journey from a doctor treating terminally ill patients to a patient and father, and reflects on the meaning of life in the face of death and the relationship between doctor and patient.
Paul Kalanithi died while working on the book, which was shortlisted for the Wellcome Book Prize 2017 and he did not live to see it published.
Non-fiction readers interested in medical memoirs, grief, and questions about the end of life will find in this work a personal testimony.
