All of This: A Memoir of Death and Desire | Rebecca Woolf

2 posts | 2 read | 4 to read

“Beautifully written, complex, provocative, painful, genuine...an unforgettable memoir.”—ROXANE GAY “Wonderfully lyrical and uncomfortably honest in a way that is so rare, yet so needed.”—JENNY LAWSON “Disturbing and profound, this intimate book also reveals the sometimes-labyrinthine nature of the bonds that unite people in love...A provocative and memorable work.”—Kirkus Reviews After years of struggling in a tumultuous marriage, writer Rebecca Woolf was finally ready to leave her husband. Two weeks after telling him she wanted a divorce, he was diagnosed with stage four pancreatic cancer. Four months later, at the age of forty-four, he died. In All of This, Woolf chronicles the months before her husband’s death—and her rebirth after he was gone. With rigorous honesty and incredible awareness, she reflects on the end of her marriage: how her husband’s illness finally gave her the space to make peace with his humanity and her own. Stunning, compelling, and brilliantly nuanced, All of This is one woman’s story of embracing the complexities of grief without shame—as a mother, a widow, and a sexual being—and emerging on the other side of a relationship with gratitude and relief.

All of This: A Memoir of Death and Desire | Rebecca Woolf

so-so

I've been a long-time reader of Rebecca Woolf and have always loved her commitment to writing about both the beautiful highs and the devastating lows of marriage, motherhood, and life. She is unflinching in her new memoir, but as she's documented so much of this part of her life via social media, nothing felt particularly revelatory. Worth the read, though, for the catharsis of a woman emerging unapologetically into her next chapter.

pick

Woolfā€s marriage wasnā€t perfect, but they stayed together. Then doctors diagnose her husband with stage 4 terminal cancer. What follows is as much about the death as how she reconciles her conflicting emotions. Empowering not tearful.

Wonderful choice if you love woman-centered memoirs that dive deep into emotions and arenā€t afraid to test boundaries of ā€correctness.ā€¯
