Who Knew? is a continuation of Romy
Shiller's book You Never Know: A Memoir. Romy is considered
a medical mystery and applies her previous interest and
scholarly work on the body to her new physical reality.
Romy's intense belief that we can meet and overcome
challenges prompted her to write this book. People
expect distress when faced with a life-altering situation.
Who Knew? proves that there are options available to
everyone when it comes to facing challenges. Romy looks at
internalized ideas about the body. She provides a new
approach to physicality (how we utilize the body) and image
(how we perceive the body). Our culture is obsessed with
looking a certain way. Opting out of conventional modes of
appearance is liberating. This book and Romy's attitude are
not about denial; they are about acceptance. Acceptance for
Romy does not preclude change. It is more about blending
realities, weaving the idea of identity. Fluctuation and
adaptation are important qualities. Romy's non-malignant
brain tumour operation and subsequent five-month coma have
left her in a wheelchair, with a voice/speech impediment
called dysarthria. Romy Shiller is proof we can overcome our challenges. |
