So, it’s not exactly my review, but it’s a review of the issue of Bellevue Literary Review that my essay was in, and I did get a teeny-tiny shout out. Hey, I’ll take it where I can get it!
And so you don’t have to go digging through for my little bitty mention, the very kind Julie J. Nichols wrote in her review:
More pieces dealing with cultural prescriptions about the body, both current and historical, include “The Disordered Body†(about the 1853 Yellow Fever outbreak, Amanda Auchter); J. S. Brown’s delightful personal narrative “The Codeine of Jordan,†in which she battles more than the physical discomfort of a UTI in a foreign land; and “The Colostomy Diaries†by Janet Buttenwieser.
I’m delightful!
(What’s the point of having a blog, if you can’t toot your own horn now and then? I’ll be back to my regularly scheduled skewering of my family next week.)
Awesome! Congrats! Loved your essay, btw :o)
