By: Jonathan GluckIn this thought-provoking memoir, an award-winning journalist explores the chaos, doubt, and search for meaning that come with staying one step ahead of cancer for decades.
“An Exercise in Uncertainty has a powerful and restorative story to tell us. Jonathan Gluck’s life of illness and survival is a vital primer for us all—a lesson in how to face and comprehend two of the basic facts that render us human: We die, but much more important, we live.”—Richard Ford
“Navigates the dire straits of mortality with eloquence, wit, and intelligence.”—Susan Orlean
At age thirty-eight, Jonathan Gluck, a new father with a promising journalism career, was shocked to learn he had multiple myeloma, a rare, incurable blood cancer. He was told he had eighteen months to live.
That was more than twenty years ago.
Gluck isn’t just something of a medical miracle. He’s also part of a growing population. Thanks to revolutionary medical advances, many cancers and other serious illnesses are no longer death sentences but chronic diseases people can often live with for years. While doctors continue to look for “magic bullet” cures, they can now extend patients’ lives by slowing the progression of their diseases one treatment at a time. The result is a strange, new no-man’s-land between being sick and being well where Gluck and millions of others reside.
In An Exercise in Uncertainty, Gluck maps this previously uncharted territory. Among the many vexing side effects of chronic illness he explores is uncertainty—never knowing from one day to the next how one’s illness might change them physically, emotionally, spiritually. When you have an incurable disease, how do you cope with knowing that even when you’re in remission, it will eventually return? How do you live with the anxiety, the fear, the near-constant awareness of your mortality? For Gluck, one surprising answer is fly-fishing. If you’re looking for peace in your own sea of uncertainty, it might be something else.
As Gluck will be the first to say, cancer has absolutely nothing good to offer, but almost dying has taught him valuable lessons about how to live.

This is our go-to shoes for our kids
Size: 12 Little Kid, Color: Grey/Silver/Pink
I have been buying these shoes for my two toddler girls for a few years now. They are not cheap but they use good quality material. The only downside is the velcro closure is not that great compared to the rest of the shoe. The velcro becomes weak or not as sticky well before the shoe has run its course. They come in a variety of colors which is fun for the kids. One of my daughters has sensitive fee or just fine shoes generally uncomfortable and she never has a problem with these. I also love that they're available in half sizes. And I find them to be true to size

Easy on and off
I’m a big fan of Sauconys so I wanted to introduce my daughter to my love of sneakers. These are good shoes and they’ve held up well. They show a lot of dirt but they’re worn by a toddler so I guess that’s expected. They’re lightweight so my daughter can easily walk in them. My only complaint is the length of the Velcro fastener. We use thin socks and the fastener barely goes halfway across the shoe. It just looks odd to me. Otherwise, it’s a great shoe. I’ll definitely buy more.

Cute shoes for new walkers
Great shoes for new walkers, with a sturdy heel cup and flexible sole, and super easy to get on/take off. The fit is a bit on the narrow side, so recommend checking the size chart. Great colors too! We've bought multiple pairs in different sizes and have always been happy.

Great shoe: 5th pair purchased!
I love these shoes! They fit true to size and never wear out. Both of my girls have worn these exclusively from 9 months through kindergarten. My oldest just learned to tie laces and that’s the only reason I’m moving her on to different shoes. These are stylish and they grow out of them before the tread even begins to show wear. Additionally, unlike cheap sneakers from Walmart or Target the Velcro holds strong despite a year of use by two different children.

Great purchase!
My child is 14 months and has been on the move for a long time, these shoes are so great, he moves great in them and never has a problem wearing them!
They are slightly narrow so the strap doesn’t go all the way, but has never come undone!
