Corporeality
True to its title, Seamon's winning collection of short stories returns again and again to the question of how we reconcile ourselves to our bodies....Love, kindness, and understanding exist in these stories, but they are often tempered by the promise of approaching tragedy....Seamon leavens her collection with generous amounts of humor....Seamon's stories run the gamut from modern fairy tales to coming-of-age stories and psychological character sketches....Seamon offers enough thematic and narrative variation to keep each story fresh. --Publishers Weekly.This is a collection of stories with varying subject matter, but each resonates with the broader themes of the fragility of life, our mortality and our will to survive.  In turn, it is about the beauty and gift of living--savouring the simple things like the sights and smells of changing seasons....quirky, imaginative, and undeniably moving collection.--Bookloverbookreviews.
