About event
"My uterus has been transformed. From an organ used for procreation into an absurd organ. Nonsense, a distorting mirror, a cruel joke on femininity and fertility. Before the surgery, I went to bed with what I imagined as a spider, growing and bleeding inside me."
"My task in this book is to understand the meaning of illness and myself in illness. I am primarily interested in what concerns me, my private attempts, deprived of religious hope. I also want to understand whether my experience can be useful for others. This is what this book is about."
The book was published in 2025 by the Liberal Culture Foundation: https://kulturaliberalna.pl/wydawnictwo/endo-sztuka-akceptacji-choroby/
Karolina Wigura - historian of ideas, sociologist. Member of the board of the Liberal Culture Foundation, senior fellow at the Center for Liberal Modernity in Berlin, assistant professor at the Faculty of Sociology at the University of Warsaw.
Natalia Prüfer - theater expert, journalist, moderator, coordinator and initiator of Polish-German cultural projects. For five years she has been running a blog about German-language literature and the book club "Buch, meaning a book". More information: www.nataliapruefer.com.
