Vaguely restless, until now she's been neither happy nor unhappy, but her entry into what she calls \"Cancerland\" forces her to question the assumptions by which she lived her life so far. Uneasily, she realizes that the \"relationships of the soul\" she and her friends value over everything else might not be as indelible as family, after all. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this sharp and picaresque first novel, conceptual artist Annette Weisser depicts the transformation of Berlin from the frontier city of the cold war to an international art hub as an analog and backdrop to the chaotic, corporeal transformation Noora undergoes through cancer and its treatments.
