La 4e de couverture indique : "54000 cas de cancers de la prostate par an en France. Pour Philippe Petit, la statistique est devenue réalité. C'est en philosophe qu'il a décidé de la traiter. En écrivant un traité flamboyant de la glande masculine du plaisir et de la honte, oubliée par les penseurs de la virilité. L'ablation anatomique se révélant aussi historique et intellectuelle, voici un essai didactique et autobiographique qui interroge tour à tour la théologie de la chair, la métaphysique du corps, l'épistémologie de la médecine, Mai 1968, la libération sexuelle, les soubresauts de l'ordre moral et l'extinction postmoderne du désir. Entre deux souvenirs du confessionnal et deux examens à l'hôpital, passent, tels des anges ou des démons, Pascal, Cabanis, Nietzsche, Artaud, François Dagognet, Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze ou encore Philippe Roth. Un récit poignant de vie, une investigation expérimentale sur la clinique, une plongée littéraire au cœur de la psychologie afin de renouveler, de fond en comble, le rapport du mâle à l'amour."

At the turn of the twentieth century, tuberculosis was a leading cause of death across America, Europe, and the Russian Empire. The incurable disease gave rise to a culture of convalescence, creating new opportunities for travel and literary reflection. Tubercular Capital tells the story of Yiddish and Hebrew writers whose lives and work were transformed by a tubercular diagnosis. Moving from eastern Europe to the Italian Peninsula, and from Mandate Palestine to the Rocky Mountains, Sunny S. Yudkoff follows writers including Sholem Aleichem, Raḥel Bluvshtein, David Vogel, and others as they sought "the cure" and drew on their experiences of illness to hone their literary craft.Combining archival research with literary analysis, Yudkoff uncovers how tuberculosis came to function as an agent of modern Jewish literature. The illness would provide the means for these suffering writers to grow their reputations and find financial backing. It served a central role in the public fashioning of their literary personas and ushered Jewish writers into a variety of intersecting English, German, and Russian literary traditions. Tracing the paths of these writers, Tubercular Capital reconsiders the foundational relationship between disease, biography, and literature.
