“Listen, douchepants,” I said, “you’re not going to tell me anything about disease I don’t already know. I need one and only one thing from you before I walk out of your life forever: WHAT HAPPENS TO ANNA’S MOTHER?”
Chapter 12.
I think Hazel sees a lot of herself in Anna, the main character of Imperial Affliction, especially with cancer being their common bond. When her favourite book finishes mid sentence which suggests to us that Anna dies, Hazel makes it her mission to find the author of the book to find out what becomes of everyone after Anna's death. Hazel not only does this for her love of the book, but also to get a glimpse of how her death will affect others when she's gone. When her favourite author does not want to give her an answer, she loses it and it makes me feel sorry for her. All she is concerned about are the many lives she might ruin because of her illness. By finding out what happens to everyone in Imperial Affliction, especially Anna's mother, it will give her a glimpse as to what the future will hold for all her loved ones after she's gone and she needs to know that they will be okay.
