Sensitive Anatomy

In the era of compulsive touch—ups and digital poses, perhaps it is time to re—read our body in order to rescue perhaps it is time to re—read our body in order to rescue it and embrace it with joy. it and embrace it with joy.

The thirty brief chapters of Sensitive Anatomy form a celebration of the body in its glorious entirety, from the most obvious zones to those commonly less appreciated. This is a poetic, political, and hedonistic journey across the very matter that makes us. A book that questions how we see ourselves, how we are made to see, and what beauty really is. It playfully stands against the culture of Photoshop, against oppressive images, against all those edits and erasures which end up excluding the vast majority of real people.

Uniting genres, genders, and generations through a collective voice, Neuman continues to extend the limits of short—form prose with irony and creative freedom. All bodies are welcome here.
