Run Towards the Danger: Confrontations with a Body of Memory by Sarah Polley

5.0

Excellent and beautifully crafted essays. I remember Polley on The road to Avonlea, and her experience in that show, as well as her Stratford experiences reveal someone for whom theatre and acting became a real struggle. Her essay on Gomeshi is an excellent thread on what a woman might go through, in charging someone with sexual assault, and the conflicting points and advice on speaking up. And how that decision might haunt her. And her concussion essay is a lesson on treatment plans, and what worked for her.
