Bodily Harm by Margaret Atwood
4.0
a review i found in my notes from 2016 that i never put on goodreads
A book that's not afraid to plunge its protagonist in a passive kind of despair. At its core it is a simple book about the body and the pain Rennies body has endured, has caused her. I often feel like I'll never really grasp Atwood's earliest works, which are deceptive in their simplicity. But even as I struggle, I find her writing so utterly compelling, so unabashedly feminist and critical and wry.
