A Life Less Convenient: Letters to My Ex cover art designed by Sara Lando

A Life Less Convenient: Letters to My Ex is a collection of fictionalized short stories told in the form of letters to loves lost during the onset and daily complications of chronic illness. Each letter details the emotional and physical realities of a couple dealing with illness, and the transitions that inevitably occur as they learn to navigate through the bodily changes. The book portrays the complex, often ambivalent relationship of the body in love and in disease through both pictures and text.
