A HISTORY OF MY BRIEF BODY
For readers of Ocean Vuong and Maggie Nelson and fans of Heart Berries by Terese Marie Mailhot, this is a brave, raw, and fiercely intelligent collection of essays and vignettes on grief, colonial violence, joy, love, and queerness.
For readers of Ocean Vuong and Maggie Nelson, A History of My Brief Body is a literary work of genius which opens with a tender letter from Billy-Ray to his kokum (Cree for grandmother) with memories of his early life in the Driftpile First Nation and expands to encompass the big and broken world, in all its complexity and contradictions. With startling honesty, and in a voice distinctly and assuredly his own, Belcourt situates his life experiences within a constellation of seminal queer texts, among which this book is sure to earn its place. Eye-opening, intensely emotional, and excessively quotable, A History of My Brief Body demonstrates over and over again the power of words to both devastate and console us.
A History of My Brief Body was published in Canada by Hamish Hamilton and in the US by Two Dollar Radio, both this summer. Rights have already been sold in ANZ (University of Queensland Press), Italy (Black Coffee Press), and Turkey (Sander). A History of My Brief Body is a bestseller in Canada and has received only adoration and critical acclaim, from authors and media alike.
