A review by kjboldon
Body Work by Melissa Febos

challenging emotional funny hopeful informative inspiring reflective fast-paced

5.0

Febos writes what feels like a manifesto for truth telling. Part memoir, part writing manual, part research project, she argued passionately and urgently yet quietly (not hysterically, in the Freudian sense) form the power of personal narrative for healing oneself, for sharing with others, and for demolishing the walls built with unspoken prejudice and power. Bracing stuff.
