Summary
The author of Girl Interrupted takes the reader on a sometimes surreal journey through the health care system, meeting internists, gynecologists, alternative health experts, and many others as she explores the big issues surrounding health care in America. 150,000 first printing.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: The Camera My Mother Gave Me takes us through Susanna Kaysenâs often comic, sometimes surreal encounters with all kinds of doctorsâinternists, gynecologists, âalternative healthâ expertsâas well as with her boyfriend and her friends, when suddenly, inexplicably, âsomething went wrongâ with her vagina.
The title comes from Luis Buñuelâs film Viridiana. Some peasants are at a banquet in a country mansion. They ask a maid to take a group snapshot, and she obliges, lifting up her skirt and using the âcameraâ thatâs underneath.
Kaysenâs The Camera My Mother Gave Me observes what happens when sexual pleasure is replaced by pain. âWhen eros goes away,â she writes, âitâs as if Iâm colorblind. The world is gray.â But is this a problem of body, or mind? And can clinicians tease out the difference between the two?
Spare, frank, and altogether original, The Camera My Mother Gave Me challenges us to think in new ways about the centrality and power of sexuality. It is an extraordinary investigation into the role sex plays in perception and our notions of ourselvesâand into what happens when the erotic impulse meets the world of medicine
