About This Item
New York: J.B. Lippincott Company, 1973. Hard Back. Very Good/Good. 5 1/2" x 8 1/2. 305 pages. Ex-libris front endpaper and date and city on back endpaper. Illustrated with photographs. Death is, after all, the only universal experience except birth, and although a sensible person hopes to put it off as long as possible, it is, even in anticipation, an interesting experience. He found out..he had a kind of leukemia that was likely to kill him in a year, and almost surely in two. Alsop describes what it means to live with a terminal disease and to confront daily the prospect of one's own death. Stay of Execution is also a suspenseful tale of medical detection. The author's illness is mysterious and deeply puzzling-for a few glorious weeks the doctors even thought that it might not be leukemia at all. Now the original diagnosis has been amended. Alsop's form of leukemia may not be rapidly fatal; he has received a stay of execution. The uncertainty of his future has turned Stewart Alsop's thoughts back to the past.
