My Clavicle: And Other Massive Misalignments by Marta Sanz

For readers of Nora Ephron and Miranda July, a daring and intimate exploration of health anxiety and menopause from award-winning Spanish writer Marta Sanz.

I'm going to tell you what happened to me and what didn't happen to me. The possibility that nothing happened to me is what's giving me the shakes.

Marta believes she is dying. With the onset of menopause, the changes to her body are stirring up new anxieties. During a flight, she starts to experience a pain underneath her rib. Unsure whether the pain signals the ominous approach of death or a simple bout of flatulence, Marta descends into an examination of pain's impact upon her life. Is her body failing her or is she failing her body?

Provocative, vulnerable, full of dark humour, My Clavicle: And Other Massive Misalignments is the first book by this bestselling writer to be published in English.
