Reseña del libro "Back: Essays from the Other Side of an American Figure (en Inglés)"

Acclaimed New Yorker contributor Lauren Michele Jackson delivers an essay collection devoted to the back--and the conflicting ideas we load onto it.Moving across literature, film, sport, visual art, and U.S. history, Jackson probes how the back has carries powerful ideas about beauty, gender, labor, race, and political solidarity. Here the back emerges as a site of vulnerability and desire, embodiment and rhetoric, dependence and resistance.Jackson's prose effortlessly shifts between conversational and intellectual, inviting readers into digressions that illuminate rather than distract in a set of ranging essays, alighting upon subjects such as bodybuilding, ballet, portrait photography, Gone With the Wind, horse racing, copyright law, and Nathaniel Hawthorne.Back opens a broad door onto the body as both structure and metaphor, linking artistic and political representation through a mutual attention to what--and who--is made to bear weight.
