The Wig Diaries: An Irreverent Cancer Book
The Wig Diaries is Mary Ladd's debut irreverent cancer book.

Armed with creative sensibility, Ladd robs her diagnosis of its dour weightiness. Refusing to tiptoe around the gnarlier elements of treatment and recovery, the narrative is powerful in its unvarnished honesty and contagious lust for life exemplified by hilarious anecdotes.

Award-winning professor and author Phyllis Weliver was in the first wave to fall ill with long COVID. Moving from the city to a woodland cottage above a Michigan lake in order to regain health, Weliver reflects on the process of integrating mind/body health with the natural world. As she recovers from long-haul COVID, the author draws inspiration from forest bathing, traditional Odawa and Ojibwe culture, ancient Chinese philosophy, and British and American literature.

The Routledge Companion to Cultural Text and the Nation
The Routledge Companion to Cultural Text and the Nation brings together over 30 articles by leading and emerging scholars from around the world who engage fresh critical lenses, from affect studies to the medical humanities, and re-energize established frameworks to examine the interplay between cultural production and conceptualizations of the nation and nationalism. The scholarship in this volume takes as its objects of analysis various forms of aesthetic and cultural production, from film and literature to museums and costume books, enriching the conversation that has often siloed these forms. Geared toward scholars, graduate students, and upper-level undergraduates across the humanities and social sciences, this timely, interdisciplinary collection is issued at a critical juncture in the transformation of the nation and the global resurgence of regressive and populist nationalist movements. Both offering new insights reorienting our understanding of canonical materials and bringing noncanonical works to light, this volume challenges long-held assumptions about the nation while establishing its continued significance and future possibilities.
