Críticas

"If the eyes are the mirror of the soul, the nose must be the soul's doorknob. The figurehead on the prow of the body's ship. The hood ornament on the car."--Francine Prose, "The Nose"Stunning and thought-provoking...entertaining and adept."--"Chicago Tribune"Mind-blowing, heart-thumping, and downright spine-tingling...eighteen contemporary writers ruminate on different parts of the body."--"St. Petersburg Times"Fresh and magnetic...a provocative and top-tier anthology about the body as experienced from within and seen from without...The essays and memoirs gathered here are expectedly personal and yet unexpectedly and quite wonderfully expansive."--"Booklist"Astute, funny, and very earthy...This deep contemplation of the body is rewarding in the hands of people like Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Jane Smiley and poet Thylias Moss...Poet Richard McCann writes of his liver transplant in unsentimental, razor's edge prose...And with Rosario Ferr?'s closing essay, 'The Blessings of the Butt, '" Body reclaims the bawdy...I can hear Henry Miller applauding from the grave."--"Toronto Globe and Mail"With humor, wisdom, and occasional medical references, the contributors reveal themselves in reflection on both the standard body parts as well as more unexpected ones...This collection is as rich as the human experience it reveals."--"Publishers Weekly"Natalie Kusz speaks movingly, knowingly, about scars...Chris Offutt acknowledges that constant source of pain and incapacity, the knee...Ron Carlson writes hilariously about the male genitalia...You'll never look into a mirror in quite the same way."--"Arizona Republic
