Melancholy of Anatomy Stories

"...Jackson resists attempts at easy categorization....At its best, THE MELANCHOLY OF ANATOMY offers up a whole new way of conceptualizing the relationship of the body to the world....Unfortunately..., too often, Jackson writes from an elusive distance, as if she were a naturalist or historian, a stance that her work, by its visceral nature, belies....When Jackson writes from some identifiable point of view, she achieves a depth, a piquancy, that her more mannered narratives do not."Jackson, Shelley is the author of 'Melancholy of Anatomy Stories', published 2002 under ISBN 9780385721202 and ISBN 038572120X.
