This front-end Gen X'er wonders \"How the hell did I end up here, now, like this?\" The author uses her body to find her answers. In stand-alone but interconnected chapters (\"Eyes,\" \"Belly,\" \"Breasts,\" \"Hands,\" etc.; 16 chapters in all), body parts serve as portals toward remembrances grounded in the physical body while linking to other forms of experience, with one goal: making sense of a life that she realizes-only through writing it- has been full of reactivity and agency, despite her rarely noticing it in the moment. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA quiet, grounding book in turbulent, uncertain times, Body: My Life in Parts, shows the reader how the treasure chest that is her own body can be a source of meaningful discovery, and recovery, of meaning.
