ARGONAUT BOOKS

Jan Grue had just become a father when he inherited a stack of his childhood medical records. Following a diagnosis of spinal muscular atrophy at the age of three, the raft of doctors' notes, clinical descriptions and case histories defined his body as defective and his future as bleak and limited. They conjured a childhood nothing like the one he remembered, that failed to anticipate the life he lived now. 'I Live a Life Like Yours' is Grue's beautiful, groundbreaking search for a literary language that could better tell his story.
