Susan Holbrook: Steamy, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Hot (flash) takes, symptom by symptom, of The Change: Steamy is a raucous menopause memoir.
Half the population will face the horrors of menopause at some point, but even the medical profession can’t figure out what to do about it. Insomnia (#9), irritability (#24), increases in weight (#34): facing all that, we may have to conclude that laughter might be the best medicine for menopause.
Steamy explores the cascading list of symptoms people can face when going through The Change (including 2. Hot Flashes, 21. Anxiety, and 45. Fewer Shits). In this comic memoir, Holbrook opens up an experience still constrained by cultural silences and myths. Steamy is honest, vulnerable, gross, and might just be the funniest book you’ve ever read about menopause, or anything else (see 37. Bloating).
