"Los Angeles Times" Bestseller
"Mary Cappello 's] inventive, associative taxonomy of discomfort .
. . is] revelatory indeed." --MARK DOTY, author of "Dog Years: A
Memoir" and "Fire to Fire: New and Selected Poems"
"A wonderful, multi-layered piece of writing, with all the insight
of great cultural criticism and all the emotional pull of memoir. A
fascinating book." --SARAH WATERS, author of "The Night Watch" and
"The Little Stranger"
Without awkwardness we would not know grace, stability, or balance.
Yet no one before Mary Cappello has turned such a penetrating gaze
on this misunderstood condition. Fearlessly exploring the ambiguous
borders of identity, she mines her own life journeys--from Russia,
to Italy, to the far corners of her heart and the depths of a
literary or cinematic text--to decipher the powerful messages that
awkwardness can transmit.
Mary Cappello is the author of four books of literary nonfiction,
including "Awkward: A Detour," which was a "Los Angeles Times"
bestseller, "Called Back: My Reply to Cancer, My Return to Life, "
which won a "ForeWord Reviews" Book of the Year Award and an
Independent Publishers Prize, and "Swallow: Foreign Bodies, Their
Ingestion, Inspiration, and the Curious Doctor Who Extracted Them."
Professor of English at the University of Rhode Island, she lives
in Providence, Rhode Island and Lucerne-in-Maine, Maine.
