Sample Book Insights:
#1 I have heard this concern from countless students and peers: stories about body and sex and gender and violence and joy and childhood and family are considered navel-gazing. But I insist that we should always be telling stories so that their specificity reveals some larger truth.
#2 I did not want to write a memoir because I thought that strangers would not be interested in my story. But my own story wouldn’t leave me alone. It called to me the way I have since come to recognize is the call of my best stories, those that most need to be told.
#3 The writing about your wounds is likely to be therapeutic. It is a logical fallacy to conclude that any writing with therapeutic effect is terrible. You don’t have to be into therapy to be healed by writing.
#4 The history of trauma and its stories has always been politicized. Consider the case of hysteria, a mysterious illness that captivated male doctors from antiquity until the beginning of the twentieth century. Its cause was believed to be a rogue uterus, which the ancient Greek doctor Aretaeus described as an animal within an animal, who delights also in fragrant smells.
