A candid, sharp-witted account of one writer's relationship with a seemingly-innocent body part. Hilde stby is a successful author and cultural critic on the cusp of her forty-fifth birthday. But instead of celebrating her many accomplishments, all she can think about is how much she hates her stomach--an insecurity that has ruled over her existence ever since she was fifteen. How did a girl from an academic home--where intellect counted more than looks--become the kind of woman who would obsess over her appearance during a photoshoot for her latest book? In My Belly, stby decides to, once and for all, write about her most hated body part, exploring how the male gaze, diet culture, stress, capitalism, fashion, beauty, and trauma have played into her obsession. Eventually, through knowledge and wonder, she finds the answer to overcoming her self loathing in unexpected ways.

Entre la vida marina y el cerebro humano hay un gran trecho, pero existen algunas similitudes entre los caballitos de mar y el hipocampo. Así como los caballitos de mar machos incuban los huevos en la barriga hasta que las crías puedan salir al mar y valerse por sí mismas, el hipocampo es una especie de incubadora de recuerdos: cuida de ellos y los retiene hasta que sean lo suficientemente grandes y fuertes para poder arreglárselas solos. ¿Cómo se almacenan los recuerdos? ¿Qué nos hace recordar? ¿Por qué olvidamos? Entretenido y accesible, El libro de la memoria nos ofrece una sorprendente mirada al mundo de los recuerdos.
