wine-swilling, pasta-slurping, fashion-fanatic, single-forever,
about-to-get-married big-city girl cartoonist with a fabulous life
finds . . . a lump in her breast?” That’s the question that sets
this powerful, funny, and poignant graphic memoir in motion. In
vivid color and with a taboo-breaking sense of humor, Marisa
Acocella Marchetto tells the story of her eleven-month, ultimately
triumphant bout with breast cancer—from diagnosis to cure, and
every challenging step in between.
But Cancer Vixen is about more than surviving an illness. It
is a portrait of one woman’s supercharged life in Manhattan, and a
wonderful love story. Marisa, self-described “terminal
bachelorette,” meets her Prince Charming in Silvano, owner of the
chic downtown restaurant Da Silvano. Three weeks before their
wedding, she receives her diagnosis. She wonders: How will he react
to this news? How will my world change? Will I even survive? And .
. . what about my hair?
From raucous New Yorker staff lunches and the star-studded
crowd at Silvano’s restaurant to the rainbow pumps Marisa wears to
chemotherapy, Cancer Vixen is a total
original. Marisa’s wit and courage are an inspiration—she’s a
cancer vixen, not its victim.
