A memoir from the award-winning author of My Lesbian Husband Barrie Jean Boricha's Body Geographicturns personal history into an inspired reflection on the points where place and person intersect where running away meets running toward and whereA dislocation means finding oneself.One coordinate of Boricha's story is Chicago the prototypical Great Lakes port city built by immigrants like her great-grandfather Big Petar and the other is her own port of immigration Minneapolis the combined skylines of these two cities tattooed on Boricha's own back. Between Chicago and Minneapolis Borich maps her own Midwest a true heartland in which she measures the distance between the dreams and realities of her own life her familya's and her fellow travelersa' in the endless American migration. Covering rough terraina"from the hardships of her immigrant ancestors to the travails of her often-drunk young self longing to be madly awake in the world from the changing demographics of midwestern cities to the personal transformations of coming out and living as a lesbiana"Body Geographic is cartography of high literary order plotting routes real and imagined and putting an alternate landscape on the map.
