loginWhat does it mean to have a heart? How does it feel when a heart fails, and what does it take to recover? In a world beset by never-ending crises―personal and collective, local and global―is heartlessness the only option?
From the Heart weaves together a personal narrative of a life-threatening ailment with considerations of philosophy, art, and science to contemplate ultimate questions: matters of life and death. Jeffrey L. Kosky recounts his brush with death―the surgical repair of a congenital defect in his aortic valve―his gradual recovery of everyday life, and his struggle to find the heart to go on throughout it all.
