How do we reckon with our losses? In Animal Bodies Suzanne Roberts
explores the link between death and desire and what it means to
accept our own animal natures, the parts we most often hide, deny,
or consider only with shame-our taboo desires and our grief. In
landscapes as diverse as Salamanca's cobbled streets, the Mekong
River's floating markets, Fire Island's windswept beaches,
Nashville's honky-tonks, and the Sierra Nevada's snowy slopes,
Roberts interrogates her memory and tries to make sense of her own
private losses (deaths of people and relationships), as well as
more public losses, including a mass shooting in her hometown and
environmental devastation in the Amazon rainforest. With lyricism,
insight, honesty, and dark humor, these essays illuminate the
sometimes terrible beauty of what it means to be human, deepening
the conversation on death and grief, sexuality, and the shame that
comes from surviving the world in a female body with all of its
complexities.
