In "At the Will of the Body", Arthur Frank told the story of his own illnesses, heart attack and cancer. That book ended by describing the existence of a "remission society", whose members all live with some form of illness or disability. "The Wounded Storyteller" is their collective portrait. Frank suggests that ill people are more than victims of disease or patients of medicine; they are wounded storytellers. People tell stories to make sense of their suffering; when they turn their diseases into stories, they find healing. Drawing on the work of authors such as Oliver Sacks, Anatole Broyard, Norman Cousins and Audre Lorde, as well as from people he met during the years he spent among different illness groups, Frank recounts a collection of illness stories, ranging from the well-known - such as Gilda Radner's battle with ovarian cancer - to the private testimonials of people with cancer, chronic fatigue syndrome and disabilties. Their stories are more than accounts of personal suffering: they abound with moral choices and point to a social ethic. Frank identifies three basic narratives of illness in restitution, chaos and quest. Restitution narratives anticipate getting well again and give prominence to the technology of cure. In chaos narratives, illness seems to stretch on forever, with no respite or redeeming insights. Quest narratives are about finding that insight as illness is transformed into a means for the ill person to become someone new.
