Reviews
Martha Stoddard Holmes, Literature and Writing Department, California State University, San Marcos.:
Diagnosis is exciting and important for its close focus on scenes of diagnosis and their recurrence and significance in lived experiences and cultural representations (including film and graphic narrative). Jutel gives us enjoyable and accessible tools for thinking critically about the illness narratives that shape our lives.
