A review by erintowner
The Secret to Superhuman Strength by Alison Bechdel

3.0

I enjoyed the journey this book took me on. It's more a memoir and less a treatise on exercise than its branding suggests. There's a big focus on reaching Nirvana which is not necessarily my thing. I did love the connections with other literary figures and their love of the outdoors and exercise. Lots of loving language towards running and many nods to Desolation Peak in WA that I climbed last year.
