Description

Other People's BodiesWhen five very different women join a gym run by the magnetic Lars and his elusive wife Priya, they are convinced they've found more than a fitness regime. Within its glass walls, wrapped around the branches of a ginkgo tree, they discover kinship, camaraderie and the promise of transformation. But as the group's devotion deepens, the lines between empowerment and obedience begin to blur. Lars's ideas once enthralling grow darker, more coercive, and

When five very different women join a gym run by the magnetic Lars and his elusive wife Priya, they are convinced they've found more than a fitness regime. Within its glass walls, wrapped around the branches of a ginkgo tree, they discover kinship, camaraderie and the promise of transformation.

But as the group's devotion deepens, the lines between empowerment and obedience begin to blur. Lars's ideas - once enthralling - grow darker, more coercive, and the women's sense of self starts to erode beneath the weight of his influence.

Watching from the margins, Priya begins to see what the others cannot. Long accustomed to silence, she must decide whether to remain in her husband's shadow or intervene - despite the cost.

Incisive, astute and unflinchingly honest, Other People's Bodies lays bare the quiet slide from strength to submission, from belief to blindness - and how when combined with a desire to be part of something, the pursuit of wellness can become the most insidious form of control.

Helpful and interesting introduction
Format: Paperback
This is a good quick introduction. A good supplement to a course on modernist literature or art. What is important is that it shows the Modernist project as something that encompassed art, literature, psychology, science, and politics--in other words, it contextualizes the movement.

So glad I bought this!
Format: Paperback
I am a lit teacher at an independent school, and was able to use this book to link the literature and the art of the modern movement. My students loved this project - they made their own artwork for a display at school!

Very good comprehensive introduction to Modernism
Format: Kindle
Very good comprehensive introduction to Modernism. Only not too helpful for me at the moment becasue I was looking for something more specific. Butler has this wonderful ability to make connections between the arts. He constructs a bigger picture of the Modern movement where many forms are interlinked, influenced and informed one another. He also has a longer book Early Modernism that might be more helpful if you are looking for indepth and moe detailed discussions.

Delivers on its title
A concise overview of a very big and very slippery subject. Covers a lot of ground with enough information to give the reader reason to explore for herself.
