"what do we need to make peace with our visceral selves today, to let go of the fantasies, even if we hope beyond hope that our flesh and bones, organs and neurons might be different someday down the line? i ask because i don't know the answers."
this was so good, so informative, and so refreshing. i was engrossed from beginning to end. i had to read this for a class, but my professor insisted on us buying a copy (and he even offered if anyone couldn't for whatever reason get a copy on their own, he would buy them one), because it's just a book that needs to be read physically and is really important to have on your shelf.
it blew me away, inspired, rocked, and enraged me in all the right ways. a must read for anyone.
