Part memoir, part cultural criticism and history, part meditation on the meaning of disease, Shell's work combines the understanding of a medical researcher with the sensitivity of a literary critic. He deftly draws a detailed yet broad picture of the lived experience of a crippling disease as it makes it way into every facet of human existence.PoliomyelitisSocial aspectsUnited StatesPoliomyelitisPatientsBiographyPeople with disabilities in motion picturesCulture in motion picturesPoliomyelitisSocial aspectsPoliomyelitisPatientsPeople with disabilities in motion pictures.Culture in motion pictures.616.8/35Shell Marc125461MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910778182103321Polio and its aftermath3671680UNINA
