An urgent read -- A medical sociologist who spent five years caring for her partner, J, who died of leukemia, Mauldin weaves together her own and other’s stories in order to lay bare the financial, psychological, and physical ramifications of living and dying in our current political landscape. She focuses in particular on what she calls “The One,” or those who have been made responsible for all aspects of their partner’s care by both cultural myths about the primacy of romantic love and state refusal to make care a collective responsibility.
