In this bold and exhilarating mix of memoir and writing guide,
Melissa Febos tackles the emotional, psychological, and physical
work of writing intimately while offering an utterly fresh
examination of the storyteller's life and the challenges it
presents. How do we write about the relationships that have formed
us? How do we describe our bodies, their desires and traumas? What
does it mean to have your writing, or living, dismissed as
"navel-gazing"-or else hailed as "so brave, so raw"? And to whom,
in the end, do our most intimate stories belong? Drawing on her
journey from aspiring writer to acclaimed author and writing
professor-via addiction and recovery, sex work and academia-Melissa
Febos has created a captivating guide to the writing life, and a
brilliantly unusual exploration of subjectivity, privacy, and the
power of divulgence. Candid and inspiring, Body Work will empower
readers and writers alike, offering ideas-and occasional notes of
caution-to anyone who has ever hoped to see their true self
reflecting back from the open page. -- .
