- Authors
Sinor, Jennifer
- Abstract
Suzanne Roberts's book, Animal Bodies: On Death, Desire, and Other Difficulties, is a collection of essays that explores themes of grief, desire, and the human body. The book is divided into three parts, with the first section focusing on grief and loss. Roberts uses metaphor to convey the unmeasurable aspects of grief and finds meaning in the ordinary. The second part delves into desire and the raw, animalistic nature of human connection. The final section reflects on the death of Roberts's mother and the clarity that can be found in embracing the messiness of life. Overall, Animal Bodies offers a thought-provoking exploration of the human experience.
