When you have always defined yourself by the things you do & suddenly you can t do them anymore, who are you? Joan Weimer wrestles with this unsettling question in Back Talk, her moving, funny, fiercely honest account of a year of loss & recovery. A wise & powerful book by a brave & spirited woman, Back Talk links autobiography & biography in an original & compelling way. Searing, powerful, ruthlessly honest. Two journeys intertwine here: the author s recovery from her own disability & her restoration of a forgotten writer, Constance Fenimore Woolson, to her place in American literary history. A book I couldn t put down.
