Normal: A Chaplain, a Community with Hiv/Aids, and the Eternal Life of Stories - Paperback
About this item
by Audrey Elisa Kerr (Author)
This book chronicles the intersection of chaplaincy, autopathography (illness narratives), and stigmatized illness through the observations and stories of a chaplain working at a facility for people with HIV and AIDS. Trained as both an ethnographer and a chaplain, Audrey Elisa Kerr uses memoir to bridge the relationship between caregiver and patient, and allows stories of marginality to frame both her patients' stories and her own.
