Description

Explore a deeply personal look at life and mortality in Last Writes: A Daybook for a Dying Friend. Part of the Writing Lives: Ethnographic Narratives series, this book offers a unique perspective on the final months of Betty Frankel Kirschner. A long-term professor at Kent State University and a founding member of the feminist caucus in sociology, Kirschner was a dedicated political activist and scholar. Written by Laurel Richardson, a key figure in the literary turn of ethnographic writing, this daybook records the conversations and interactions between two close friends. The narrative provides a window into the experiences of a terminally ill woman facing emphysema. It captures the emotional weight of life-and-death decisions and the profound impact that illness has on friends, colleagues, and the community. Through memory, dreams, and honest reflection, this work serves as a powerful ethnographic study of friendship and the human experience during terminal illness.
