Benefit! S.L. WISENBERG

Meet S.L. WISENBERG, author of The Adventures of Cancer Bitch. Reception will be co-sponsored by the UCSF Cancer Center. Wisenberg may have lost a breast, but she retained her humor, outrage, and skepticism toward common wisdom and most institutions. While following the prescribed protocols at the hospital, Wisenberg is unsparing in her descriptions of the fumblings of new doctors, her own awkward announcement to her students, and the mounds of unrecyclable plastic left at a survivors' walk.
