Today is the official publication date for “The Emperor of Maladies” by Mukherjee. It is being widely and wonderfully reviewed. In Sundays New York Times Book Review this quote:
“Cell growth is the secret of living, the source of our ability to build, adapt, repair ourselves; and cancer cells are rebels among our own cells that outrace the rest. If we seek immortality, Mukherjee writes, then so too, in a rather perverse sense, does the cancer cell.”
Is that cancer cell rebel –in its little black leather jacket and bad eyeliner --simply misunderstood?
