And like this, the long run that he and his spouse had envisioned evaporated. After Breath Becomes Air chronicles Kalanithi’s transformation by a naïve medical student”owned,” because he wrote,”from the question of exactly what, provided that organisms die, makes a meaningful life” to a neurosurgeon in Stanford functioning in the mind, the most essential spot for human individuality, and eventually to a patient and fresh dad facing his own mortality.
