Dancing After Ten

In late 2004, Vivian Chong’s life was changed forever when a rare skin disease, TEN (Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis), left her with scar tissue that would eventually blind her. As she was losing her sight, she put down as many drawings on paper as she could to document the experience. In Dancing After TEN, Chong teams up with cartoonist Georgia Webber — whose graphic autobiography, Dumb, chronicled her own disability — to trace her journey out of the darkness and into the spotlight. Chong now expresses her art through singing, stand-up, drumming, running, and dancing. This graphic novel is an inspirational tale and a powerful work of graphic medicine.

La sfarsitul anului 2004, viata lui Vivian Chong a fost schimbata pentru totdeauna cand o boala rara a pielii, TEN (necroliza epidermica toxica), a lasat-o cu tesut cicatricial care, in cele din urma, ar orbi-o. Pe masura ce isi pierdea vederea, a asezat cat mai multe desene pe hartie pentru a documenta experienta.
