Autobiography of a Face

Autobiography of a Face

by Lucy Grealy

HarperCollins Publishers · 2024 · 256 pages

In this unflinching memoir, Lucy Grealy recounts her decades-long battle with cancer and its lasting impact on her appearance and identity. Facing childhood illness, reconstructive surgeries, and the sting of cruel judgment, Grealy's story is a profound meditation on beauty, self-acceptance, and the resilience of the human spirit. It’s a powerful and witty exploration of what it means to be seen, and to see oneself, in a world obsessed with perfection.
