Description
In this tale of chiseled fragments, Maggie Nelson tells of mad love, sex, pregnancy, family, work, writing. Childbirth. Death. What it is to care. And how, without love, we fall apart. Part essay, part autofiction, this is a book that is both funny and indignant, often carried away. Nelson introduces us to her spiritual mothers, those who taught her how to live. As she reads, she takes us to the beach in Florida, to the burlesque cabaret, to college in New York, from hotel room to palliative care room, to the sheriff's office in California and to the very kitsch Hollywood chapel... And above all, she ensures that we will never again see the mystery of the making of one body by another in the same way.
