Description: "In My Body and I (Mon Corps et Moi, 1925), Rene Crevel attempts to trace with words the geography of a being. Exploring the tension between body and spirit, Crevel's meditation is a vivid personal journey through illusion and disillusion, secret desire, memory, the possibility and impossibility of life, sensuality and sexuality, poetry, truth, and the wilderness of the imagination. The narrator's Romantic mind moves from evocative tales and sensations to frank confessions, making the reader a confidant to this great soul trapped in an awkward-fitting body."--BOOK JACKET.
