This March, we had the pleasure of hosting Melissa Febos to celebrate the release of her book, Body Work, with Leslie Jamison and Mary Karr.
In this memoir, Melissa Febos tackles the emotional, psychological, and physical work of writing intimately while offering an utterly fresh examination of the storyteller’s life and the questions which run through it.
Drawing on her own path from aspiring writer to acclaimed author and writing professor-via addiction and recovery, sex work and academia-Melissa Febos has created a captivating guide to the writing life, and a brilliantly unusual exploration of subjectivity, privacy, and the power of divulgence. Candid and inspiring, Body Work will empower readers and writers alike, offering ideas-and occasional notes of caution-to anyone who has ever hoped to see themselves in a story.
Melissa, Leslie, and Mary, thank you so much for joining us! We hope to see you again soon.
