Body Story

Klappentext Body Story conveys Julia K. DePree's troubling journey from adolescence to adulthood and from anorexia to health.In high school, the five-foot-ten De Pree weighed as little as 114 pounds. She was too weak to raise her arms above her head. De Pree renders the starkness of anorexia along with the process of recovery, relapse, and, ultimately, redemption. She also tells the story of the physical landscape, from her origins in the Midwest to the American South, Paris, and the vast New Mexican desert, as well as the psychic landscape of her body as it encounters the joys and challenges of maturation, childbirth, and motherhood. Zusammenfassung Something other than a memoir of a life well lived, Body Story conveys Julia K. De Pree’s troubling journey from adolescence to adulthood and from anorexia to health.For De Pree, between being a girl and being a woman, there was starvation. Body Story is her intimate account of girlhood, virginity, anorexia, and motherhood.
