{"product_id":"raising-the-dead-richard-selzer-9780870136047","title":"Raising the Dead","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe former surgeon writes of his own near-death experience after being diagnosed with Legionnaires' disease and lapsing into a coma. The fragility of health and robustness of imagination merge when this seemingly healthy man's legs collapse suddenly beneath him, propelling him into a 23-day coma triggered by Legionnaire's Disease. Here, Selzer relives his illness, allowing the reader a highly personal glimpse into his delirium as he skates the line between life and death. This tale of survival remains unsentimental as Selzer grounds what was surely a terrifying experience in humor, emphasized by use of third person narrative.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Selzer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0870136046\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780870136047\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Michigan State University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/31\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 118\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.46h x 5.60w x 0.38d","brand":"Richard Selzer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48447804408063,"sku":"9780870136047","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3e7ab212-63a0-424f-9e45-80ba7d17a581.jpg?v=1777234928","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/raising-the-dead-richard-selzer-9780870136047","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
