Hardback. Condizione: New. Feet, bras, autopsies, hair - Peggy Shinner takes an honest, unflinching look at all of them in You Feel So Mortal, a collection of searing and witty essays about the body: her own body, female and Jewish; those of her parents, the bodies she came from; and the collective body, with all its historical, social, and political implications. What, she asks, does this whole mess of bones, muscles, organs, and soul mean? Searching for answers, she turns her keen narrative sense to body image, gender, ethnic history, and familial legacy, exploring what it means to live in our bodies and to leave them behind. Over the course of twelve essays, Shinner holds a mirror up to the complex desires, fears, confusions, and mysteries that shape our bodily perceptions. Driven by the collision between herself and the larger world, she examines her feet through the often-skewed lens of history to understand what makes them, in the eyes of some, decidedly Jewish; considers bras, breasts, and the storied skills of the bra fitter; asks, from the perspective of a confused and grieving daughter, what it means to cut the body open; and takes a reeling time-trip through myth, culture, and history to look at women's hair in ancient Rome, Laos, France, Syria, Cuba, India, and her own past. Some pieces investigate the body under emotional or physical duress, while others use the body to consider personal heritage and legacy. Throughout, Shinner writes with elegance and assurance, weaving her wide-ranging thoughts into a firm and fascinating fabric. Turning the category of body books on, well, its ear, You Feel So Mortal offers a probing view of our preoccupation with the body that is both idiosyncratic and universal, leaving us with the deep satisfaction of our shared humanity.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - A collection of essays about the body.but don't let that put you off. Like the late Nora Ephron's fabulous book of reckoning with her aging body--I Hate My Neck--this witty, sometimes-hilarious manuscript turns the category of body books on its, well, ear. The essays have various points of departure--Jewish feet, posture, hair, autopsies. Some explore the problem of having a body; how to live in a woman's body; in a Jew's body. What does it mean to have the body as a proxy for the soul Some of the essays are interested in the disposition of the body under emotional or physical duress: for example, 'Pocketing' archly explores the myth that shoplifting is a distinctly female activity, even a mania linked to the womb. 'Debutante, Dowager, Beggar' is a sad, funny story about Shinner's uptight mother, a binge eater and Dr. Spock devotee, who, like many American women in the fifties, worried herself sick about posture, especially that of her daughter's and how rounded shoulders would undermine her ability to succeed in life. 'Family Feet' takes a look at feet through the often-skewed lens of history, and discovers that Shinner's flat-footed specimens are, according to some, decidedly and disturbingly Jewish, 'The Fitting(s)' breasts, and the storied bra fitte Ida Rosenthal, founder of Maidenform. 'Post-Mortem,' an essay about autopsies, looks at the body at rest, or presumably at rest, and asks the question, from a confused and grieving daughter's point of view, what does it mean to cut the body open To take a peek inside And 'Berenice's Hair' is a reeling time-trip through myth, culture, and history, looking at women's hair from ancient Rome to present-day India, with stops in Laos, France, Syria, Cuba, the United States.…
