In \u003ci\u003eTrembling, Still\u003c\/i\u003e, Stephen takes to the page in the wake of his diagnosis with the degenerative neurological condition known as Parkinson’s disease—the Beast, as he comes to know it. “There’s a bit of breathing room that comes with seeing life’s lessons coming on from a distance, through the mediation of others,” Stephen writes. But this book is not an account of life’s lessons from a distance; it is the picture of what it is to be in the arms of the Beast oneself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten as a series of entries beginning January 3, 2024, and ending with an epilogue dated July 17, 2025, \u003ci\u003eTrembling, Still\u003c\/i\u003e is a lyrical and meditative journey of reckoning that will resonate with anyone who has experienced or witnessed decline. In illness, there is pain, confusion, grace, dissolution, joy, heart-wrenching grief, light. There’s sorrow. Then there’s the soul’s work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"Never, once, does the book lose its mesmeric hold. This is not a domestic document.
