With Her Body
Nicola Griffith
With Her Body presents three pieces of short fiction by the Nebula-, Lambda-, and Tiptree-award winning Nicola Griffith.
What are these three intense stories about? Hope, joy, the body.; mainly joy and the body–feeling the world on our skin, which is the place where Us and Not-Us meet. Nicola Griffith writes about being as well as doing–about life and love and the fears that keep us from having what we want. About feeling stuff, and making decisions, not sitting at home like a passive lump.
Among the brightest stars of feminist sf, Griffith is known chiefly for her earthy yet luminous novels Ammonite, Slow River, and The Blue Place. Griffith’s particular attention to physical sensation and perception imbues the prose style of With Her Body with almost palpable heat.
Nicola Griffith will be donating all the royalties for her volume to the Rehab Services of the Multiple Sclerosis Association of King County (MSA). ‘The MSA (www.msa-sea.org) is unique,’ writes Griffith. ‘It offers yoga and hydrotherapy classes which are specifically designed for people with MS. These classes aren’t just about therapy, they’re about taking joy in the body, even one that’s not perfect. I want to share that joy–just as I try to in my work.’
