Metaphors of Illness has been hailed as one of the most liberating classics of our time. When Sontag was diagnosed with breast cancer, she was shocked to discover that we have already developed a mythology to deal with illness. This mythology is exaggerated. The degree often distorts the truth about the disease and makes patients feel isolated. In "Metaphors of Illness," Sontag peels away the myths that disease has infected culture for thousands of years and presents their true meaning. "AIDS and Its Metaphors" extends the scope of her commentary to various metaphors related to AIDS, revealing the truth and freeing patients from guilt, shame and fear.
