In \u003cem\u003eBody Horror: Capitalism, Fear, Misogyny, Jokes,\u003c\/em\u003e award-winning journalist Anne Elizabeth Moore catalogs the global toll of capitalism on our physical autonomy. Weaving together unflinching research and surprising humor, these essays range from investigative—probing the Cambodian garment industry, the history of menstrual products, or the gender biases of patent law—to uncomfortably intimate. Informed by her own navigation of several autoimmune diagnoses, Moore examines what it takes to seek care and community in the increasingly complicated, problematic, and disinterested US healthcare system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Lambda Literary Award finalist and a \u003cem\u003eChicago Review of Books\u003c\/em\u003e Nonfiction Award shortlist title, \u003cem\u003eBody Horror\u003c\/em\u003e is “sharp, shocking, and darkly funny. . . . Brainy and historically informed, this collection is less a rallying cry or a bitter diatribe than a series of irreverent and ruthlessly accurate jabs at a culture that is slowly devouring us” (\u003cem\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/em\u003e, starred review). Featuring an updated introduction and new essays, as well as illustrations by Xander Marro, this new edition of \u003cem\u003eBody Horror\u003c\/em\u003e is a fascinating, insightful portrait of the gore that encapsulates contemporary American politics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57417380168062,"sku":"NW9781558612860","price":14.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781558612860.jpg?v=1778815558","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/en-eu\/products\/body-horror","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
