| Meghan O'Rourke |
Dear Bookclub,
Enthusiastic to be together once again, our group delved into Meghan O'Rourke's "The Invisible Kingdom". The personal journey shared was often difficult to endure, driving home her message. Yet the wider issue, along with how the healthcare system and our social structure woefully dismiss the perceived weakness, is addressing chemical pollutants, the industrialized food systems and chronic stressors like poverty and racism, as O'Rourke illuminates. Several of our readers found the book discomforting to read but our discussion was robust, appreciating O'Rourke's gifted ability to write under such circumstances.
Please enjoy this interview with Meghan O'Rourke on facing the challenges of chronic illness:
