Publisher's Synopsis
Chronicle of an Obsession: Love, Death, and the Prostate is a journey that begins with the diagnosis of prostate cancer in 2008 and spans a decade and a half of struggle, sadness, tenderness, and loss. The narrative examines how both a man and his wife deal with aging and the loss of sexual potency, while losing neither carnal desire or the tenderness that flows from deep love. Ultimately, though passion is thwarted by the flesh, the tenderness expressed in passion endures.
