The Nerves and Their Endings: Essays on Crisis and Response
Jessica Gaitán Johannesson$12.75
$15.00
A timely and arresting collection of essays about the body, climate change, privilege, and environmental neurosis.
In this urgent collection that moves from the personal to the political and back again, writer, activist, and migrant Jessica Gaitán Johannesson explores how we respond to crises.
She draws parallels between an eating disorder and environmental neurosis, examines the perils of an activist movement built on non-parenthood, dissects the privilege of how we talk about hope, and more.
The synapses that spark between these essays connect essential narratives of response and responsibility, community and choice, belonging and bodies. They carry vital signals.
