Part cultural history, part literary criticism, and part memoir, A Body Made of Glass is a definitive biography of hypochondria.

Caroline Crampton's life was upended at the age of seventeen, when she was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma, a relatively rare blood cancer. After years of invasive treatment, she was finally given the all clear. But being cured of the cancer didn't mean she felt well. Instead, the fear lingered, and she found herself always on the alert, braced for signs that the illness had reemerged.

Now, in A Body Made of Glass, Crampton has drawn from her own experiences with health anxiety to write a revelatory exploration of hypochondria—a condition that, though often suffered silently, is widespread and rising. She deftly weaves together history, memoir, and literary criticism to make sense of this invisible and underexplored sickness. From the earliest medical case of Hippocrates to the literary accounts of sufferers like Virginia Woolf and Marcel Proust to the modern perils of internet self-diagnosis, Crampton unspools this topic to reveal the far-reaching impact of health anxiety on our physical, mental, and emotional health.

At its heart, Crampton explains, hypochondria is a yearning for knowledge. It is a never-ending attempt to replace the edgeless terror of uncertainty with the comforting solidity of a definitive explanation. Through intimate personal stories and compelling cultural perspectives, A Body Made of Glass brings this uniquely ephemeral condition into much-needed focus for the first time.

《玻璃身体》既是文化史的一部分，也是文学批评和回忆录的一部分，是一部关于歇斯底里的全面传记。 卡罗琳·克拉姆顿在十七岁被诊断出患有霍奇金淋巴瘤时，生活发生了翻天覆地的变化。这是一种相对罕见的血液癌症。经过多年的侵入性治疗后，她终于得到了清白。然而，治愈癌症并不意味着她感到健康。相反，恐惧一直萦绕心头，她总是保持警惕，随时准备应对疾病再次出现的迹象。 现在，在《玻璃身体》这本书中，克拉姆顿从自己与健康焦虑的经历出发，对歇斯底里——一种通常默默忍受但普遍存在的病症进行了令人震惊的探索。她巧妙地将历史、回忆录和文学批评融为一体来解释这种看不见且未被充分研究的疾病。从希波克拉底最早的医学案例到如薇拉·伍尔夫和马塞尔·普鲁斯特等病人的文学描述，再到现代互联网自我诊断带来的风险，克拉姆顿梳理了这一话题的方方面面，揭示健康焦虑对我们身体、心理和情感健康的深远影响。 《玻璃身体》的核心在于，克拉姆顿解释说，歇斯底里是一种渴望知识的愿望。它是一个不断尝试用确定性的解释来取代不确定性所带来的无边恐惧的过程。通过亲密而有力的文化视角和个人故事，《玻璃身体》第一次将这种独特且短暂的状况置于聚光灯下。
