Shifting between specific periods of his life—his youth with his parents and sister in Norway; his years of study in Berkeley, St. Petersburg, and Amsterdam; and his current life as a professor, husband, and father—he intersperses these histories with elegant, astonishingly wise reflections on the world, social structures, disability, loss, relationships, and the body: in short, on what it means to be human. Along the way, Grue moves effortlessly between his own story and those of others, incorporating reflections on philosophy, film, art, and the work of writers from Joan Didion to Michael Foucault. He revives the cold, clinical language of his childhood, drawing from a stack of medical records that first forced the boy who thought of himself as “just Jan” to perceive that his body, and therefore his self, was defined by its defects.}}</ref> Kritikeren i den engelske avisen [[The Guardian]] skrev:<blockquote>«The Norwegian’s memoir about the trials of life with an incurable condition is a restrained and stunning meditation on what it means to be human.»<ref name=":3" /></blockquote>Den amerikanske skuespilleren [[Michael J.
