Living is a process of continuous transformation: we have been
embryos, children, adolescents, thin, fat, sick, better again. And
as humans, we are always at odds with at least one part of our
bodies. Have we inherited the family nose? Is there nothing to be
done for our finicky stomach or our limp hair?"In the Flesh" is an
intelligent, witty, and provocative look at how we think about--and
live within--our bodies. The editors and writers in this collection
describe, in many voices, what human bodies feel now. Each author's
candid essay focuses on one part of the body, and explores its
function, its meanings, and the role it has played in his or her
life. Written from both the male and female perspectives,
contributors include Caroline Adderson, Andre Alexis, Taiaiake
Alfred, Brian Brett, Trevor Cole, Dede Crane, Lorna Crozier,
Candace Fertile, Stephen Gauer, Julian Gunn, Heather Kuttai, Susan
Olding, Kate Pullinger, Merilyn Simonds, Richard Steel, Madeleine
Thien, Sue Thomas, and Margaret Thompson.
