As an American man born and raised in the Puritan states of New England, I don't often get publicly naked. And I've never really thought about why.

This series of graphic essays about what being naked means in various parts of the world is super interesting. and more personal than academic, but more informative than traumatic.

The art all skews toward indie/underground comic style, but that's super okay with me.

I recommend this for anyone looking for an unusual graphic novel read. The publishers mention that many of these essays evoke David Sedaris stories, and they're not wrong. So if that's your thing, go to your local comic store and seek out a copy.

An interesting story about different cultures views on nudity and the human form.

An interesting look at how one's attitudes about their body can change over the years, and some frank discussion of how American attitudes differ from the rest of the world, I enjoyed most of this book. I feel like it could have been cut down by about 25%, though, especially near the end, where there is less deep thinking going on.

I've got to say, I don't remember a thing about this after reading it, except that apparently being naked is a Thing You Should Be Extremely Concerned About And Find Memorable.
