{"product_id":"two-weeks-of-life-eleanor-clift-9780465012800","title":"Two Weeks of Life: A Memoir of Love, Death, and Politics","description":"What has become known as the Schiavo affair-the death of a brain-damaged woman in Florida in 2005, and the controversy that surrounded it-was a revelatory moment in American society. For the first time, the nation got a clear view of both the fanaticism gripping the religious right and the political power it could bring to bear even when the vast majority of the country disagreed with it. But it was also a turning point: a moment when America seemed to glimpse a dangerous radicalism, and began to pull back. Eleanor Clift witnessed this event from a unique vantage point. At the same time that Schiavo was dying in her Florida hospice, Clift's husband, Tom Brazaitis, was dying of cancer at home; the two passed away within a day of each other. \u003ci\u003eTwo Weeks of Life\u003c\/i\u003e alternates between these two stories to provide a moving commentary on how we deal, or fail to deal, with dying in modern America.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eleanor Clift\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0465012809\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780465012800\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Basic Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/24\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.48w x 0.93d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/22\/2009 pg. 20","brand":"Eleanor Clift","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46721261469951,"sku":"9780465012800","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_af48faa5-98a8-4819-a6ee-214a53a1cda5.jpg?v=1742752334","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/two-weeks-of-life-eleanor-clift-9780465012800","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
