Review:
"Scary, thought-provoking, and humorous. . . . Kaysen painstakingly constructs her own brilliant vagina monologue." -Elle "Hilarious . . . intelligent and deeply felt . . . always interesting and, alas, occasionally heartbreaking." -The Boston Globe "Strangely seductive, even entertaining, and frequently funny. . . . When one body part starts sending out a signal that can't be ignored, you can suddenly find yourself viewing friendships, partnerships, even inanimate objects through a different lens." -Newsday "Pithy, funny, adventurous, sexy, and eye-opening. . . . Disguised as plain, brown memoir . . . [The Camera My Mother Gave Me is] a voluptuous exploration of sexuality, aging, the failures of modern medicine, attempts at self-knowledge, and the meaning of pain." -Kirkus
