ADVANCED PRAISE
"A stunning debut. Gleason renders the many vulnerabilities of the body with exquisite prose and probing intelligence." —Melissa Febos, author of The Dry Season
“Queer, lucid and brilliant, Jonathan Gleason’s prose is not just a guide for falling ill but for navigating—and changing—our ableist society. Vulnerable and poetic, this is a stunning literary debut from an important new author.”—Steven W. Thrasher, author of The Viral Underclass
"[A] well wrought and consistently surprising collection from an unexpected narrator. Gleason's articulation of life as a young gay man exploring the aftermath of the AIDS epidemic is riveting." —Kerry Howley
“Field Guide to Falling Ill powerfully expands our understanding of illness, laying bare the intimate and often wrenching human stories interwoven with the practice of medicine.” —John D’Agata
