Description:

Mark Thompson's Gay Body: A Journey Through Shadow to Self is a remarkable personal account of what it means to possess, or live in, a gay body in the world today. But this book is not about body building, AIDS, or even simple physical health. In Gay Body Thompson takes one of the most profound questions of Western philosophy--how do we unite our corporeality with our emotional and spiritual selves--and meditates on it from a uniquely gay male perspective. Using gay liberation philosophy, Jungian psychology, radical fairy thought, and his own experiences with drugs, S&M, and transgressive sexuality, Thompson has created a work that mixes autobiography with theory in an attempt to discover how gay men can find their fullest potential, their truest selves.
