A book on the experience of reading Shakespeare's 'dark plays'. As
part of the My Reading series, King Lear is a personal meditation
on a great literary work. Arthur Frank brings a career of studying
illness experience and suffering to consider how King Lear can aid
people whose lives need help. Reading King Lear leads Frank to both
an encounter with his own old age and a source of
consolation-companionship-in his future. This book does not try to
minimize vulnerabilities, but it shows what is fully human, and
thus shared, in suffering. The book introduces readers to King
Lear, and it invites those who know the play to a new consideration
for its ability to affect people's lives.
