Betty Frankel Kirschner succumbed to emphysema one day in June. She
had been a long-term professor at Kent State University, founding
member of the feminist caucus in sociology, a political activist, a
chain smoker. Close friend Laurel Richardson, a key figure in
literary turn in ethnographic writing, kept a daybook, relating
their conversations and interactions over Betty's last few months.
Rich in memory, emotion, dreams, and life-and-death decisions, the
daybook chronicles the ups and down of a terminally ill woman and
the impact that illness has on friends, colleagues, and family
alike. Richardson also grapples with the ethics of writing deeply
personal narratives. Part memoir, part sociological analysis, part
eulogy to a departed friend, Richardson opens a poignant window
into living an academic life, and ending it.
