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

5.0

---

Rigorous and courageous are the two words that immediately spring to mind upon finishing this memoir. I listened as Sarah Polley read her words to me—on my work commute and before falling asleep at night—and her beautiful voice, along with the curiosity and tenderness with which she approaches so many difficult memories and experiences, worked on my subconscious and dream life in deep and thought-provoking ways. The last chapter, at this particular moment in my own life and recoveries, spoke volumes. Run Towards the Danger will stay with me for a long time.
