In this bold, fascinating book, Eula Biss addresses a chronic condition of fear - fear of the government, the medical establishment, and what may be i n your children's air, food, mattresses, medicines, and vaccines. Reflectin g on her own experience as a new mother, Biss investigates the metaphors an d myths surrounding our conception of immunity and its implications for the individual and the social body. She extends a conversation with other moth ers to meditations on Voltaire's Candide , Bram Stoker's Dracula, Rachel Ca rson's Silent Spring, Susan Sontag's AIDS and Its Metaphors, and beyond. On Immunity is an inoculation against our fear and a moving account of how we are all interconnected - our bodies and our fates.
