<strong>A book on the experience of reading Shakespeare's 'dark plays'.</strong> <p>As part of the <em>My Reading</em> series, <em>King Lear</em> is a personal meditation on a great literary work. Arthur W. Frank brings a career of studying illness and suffering to consider how <em>King Lear</em> can aid people whose lives need help. Reading <em>King Lear</em> leads Frank to an encounter with his own old age and provides a source of consolation and companionship. This book does not try to minimize vulnerabilities, but it shows what is fully human, and thus shared, in suffering. The book introduces readers to <em>King Lear</em> and it invites those who know the play to a new consideration for its ability to affect people's lives.</p>
