Lost
Voices from a hidden illness
ISBN 978-0-9560266-0-6
Wild Conversation Press is proud to announce its collaboration with the charity ‘Invest in ME’ in publishing Lost Voices from a hidden illness compiled, edited and designed by Natalie Boulton.
This book combines a visual and textual auto-ethnography by thirty-one chronically ill individuals suffering from the medical condition Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) and their carers, Natalie’s own explanation of the politics surrounding the treatment of that condition, and supporting texts by a number of experts in the field. This campaigning book combines respect for its contributors with a passionate desire to cut through the obfuscations that have led to the misinterpretation of ME as a behavioural condition rather than a physical disease. The book’s diverse material is brought together and presented through a highly creative approach that owes much to the editor’s original training as a visual artist.
This 120 page, 21x29.5 cm soft bound book is printed in full colour and can be obtained directly from Invest in ME at www.investinme.org
