"Soft Tissue Damage tells the story of author ANNA WHITWHAM’S lifelong interest in boxing manifesting itself in the physical act of getting into the ring to fight. From her first t entative training sessions through bruising sparring and building up to a full-blooded fight, Whitwham charts the transformative impact the sport—and all its complicated implications—has on her during a profoundly difficult period dealing with the grief of losing her mother to cancer. Tender, insightful, honest and full of startling and original thought, this is a book that fully examines what the human body is both capable and incapable of, a book that examines what the human body truly means in its capacity for sexuality and violence, love and death, strength and vulnerability."
