ARGONAUT BOOKS

Where else could you expect to encounter a gene therapy doctor keeping clouds of butterfly facts and such strange bedfellows as the God Apollo and Rabbie Burns' mice, T-Rex and a Banana Circus, Emily Dickinson and NASA, two goldfinches as a charm and a shark in a Sheffield swimming pool? Susie Wilson's debut pamphlet collection charts the painful absurdities of living with advanced melanoma and the cutting-edge science used to treat it.
