With unflinching honesty and exquisite lyricism, Morris recounts his physical and emotional trials, interweaving them with ancient myths and stories of love, death, and rebirth. He delves into the nature of grief and loss, the search for meaning in the face of adversity, and the ways in which illness can both shatter and transform our lives.

A Profound Meditation on the Human Condition

Eros and Illness is not merely a memoir of pain and suffering. It is a profoundly insightful meditation on the human condition, a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, and a celebration of the indomitable power of love. Morris invites readers to explore their own experiences of loss and illness, to find solace and healing in the shared experiences of others.

Through his vivid descriptions and poignant reflections, Morris encourages us to question the boundaries between health and illness, between self and other, and between life and death. He challenges us to confront our fears and embrace the full spectrum of human experience, from the highs of love and joy to the depths of despair and grief.

For those who have experienced loss or illness, Eros and Illness offers a companion on their journey. Morris's words provide solace, understanding, and a sense of hope.
