Women's Studies

with Read/Write presents Mary Cappello

Wednesday Oct. 14 , 4:00-6:00, SWAN AUDITORIUM

In her intensely personal memoir, Mary Cappello wonders aloud for us what breast cancer awareness really makes us aware of, and responds as if for the first time to the deceivingly simple command: "tell me what you're feeling." Called Back looks through the lens of cancer to discover--often with humor--new truths about intimacy and essential solitude, eroticism, the fact of the body, and the impossibiliy of turning away.
