Besides her ten published books and hundreds of articles Pogrebin’s essays have been included in more than 30 anthologies and textbooks. Her latest book, How To Be A Friend To A Friend Who’s Sick, was inspired by her recent experience with breast cancer during which she became fascinated by her friends’ reactions to her after they knew her diagnosis. She subsequently interviewed more than 80 sick and formerly-sick people about their experiences – what their friends said and did that was useful and comforting, and what was not useless, annoying, or hurtful. The result is a book that combines memoir and practical advice that can enhance a patient’s relationship with family and friends during times of stress and suffering.
