AN EXERCISE IN UNCERTAINTY A Memoir of Illness and Hope

At the age of 38, Jonathan Gluck fell and injured his hip, and it didn't heal. In his audiobook, Gluck narrates his own story of coming to find out he had multiple myeloma, which upended his young family's life. He and his wife, both magazine journalists, were living an idyllic life in New York City with their 7-month-old daughter when Gluck was given between 18 months and 3 years to live. Gluck sounds like a relatable guy in his narration. He has a slightly deadpan tone as he describes living with a chronic disease: the treatment, the therapies, and its effect on relationships over the course of more than 20 years, including the Covid era. He also describes utilizing fly fishing as therapy. S.E.G. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2025]
