Description
Memoir meets craft masterclass in this βdaring, honest, psychologically insightfulβ exploration of how we think and write about intimate experiencesββa must read for anybody shoving a pen across paper or staring into a screen or a past" (Mary Karr).
In this bold and exhilarating mix of memoir and master class, Melissa Febos tackles the emotional, psychological, and physical work of writing intimately while offering an utterly fresh examination of the storytellerβs life and the questions which run through it.
How might we go about capturing on the page the relationships that have formed us? How do we write about our bodies, their desires and traumas? What does it mean for an authorβs way of writing, or living, to be dismissed as βnavel-gazingββor else hailed as βso brave, so rawβ? And to whom, in the end, do our most intimate stories belong?
Drawing on her own path from aspiring writer to acclaimed author and writing professorβvia addiction and recovery, sex work and academiaβMelissa 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 ideasβand occasional notes of cautionβto anyone who has ever hoped to see themselves in a story.
