This poignant meditation on a body that seems difficult to understand or love, but all too easily exploited, challenges readers to contemplate the complexity of human selves, including their own.
Sf aficionados will savor this surprising page-turner. The attempt to resolve the personal relationship problems inherent after long separations from friends, spouse, and child is compelling. Highly recommended.

A fascinating portrait of flex culture, featuring great moves by talented dancers, a captivating picture of their lives and struggles, and a community determined to push the limits of its art.
