Gross Anatomy

Gross Anatomy: dispatches from the front (and back) / Mara Altman, 312 pgs.

Altman has had issues with her body and decided to learn more about it.  Topics include body hair, lice, boobs, sweat and the functions of the anus.  Yes, many things you probably wonder about yourself.  Altman's style is irreverent but also serious at times.  She is open to some "new age" ideas about dealing with body issues and is working towards better acceptance of her own body.  I enjoyed her style and learned a few things.  It's fine to say over and over "it's natural" or "it's normal" but accepting that for yourself is a bigger step.
