Stiches: A Memoir
Toronto: McClelland and Stewart, 2009. 1st Edition. Hardcover. 8vo. Fine / No Jacket. Item #010546
Pictorial paper boards. 329 pp. B&W illustrations. Fine. With this stunning memoir, David Small takes readers on an unforgettable journey into the dark heart of his tumultuous childhood in 1950s Detroit. At the age of 14, David awoke from a supposedly harmless operation to discover his throat had been slashed and one of his vocal chords removed, leaving him a virtual mute. No one had told him that he had cancer and was expected to die. A great work of bravery and humanity, Stitches is a gripping and ultimately redemptive story of a man's struggle to understand the past and ultimately reclaim his voice.
