Description
JAMES MCMANUSreading & booksigning for "Physical: An American Checkup"
Thursday, March 1 at 7:00 pm
When middle-aged writer James McManus received a three-day checkup at the Mayo Clinic, he was forced to confront his mortality. Would he survive his own cardiovascular system and genetic inheritance? With wit and candor, McManus explores not only his own health, but also that of the healthcare system in "Physical: An American Checkup" - an unabashed, wrenching, and hilarious portrait of unwellness in America.
James McManus is the author of the national bestseller, "Positively Fifth Street." ." He is also the author of four novels, as well as poker columnist for The New York Times. In 2001 he received the Peter Lisagor Award for sports journalism. The portion of "Physical" that appeared in Esquire has been anthologized in The Best American Science and Nature Writing, Best American Magazine Writing, and Best American Political Writing. McManus teaches in Chicago.
