"It's a blessing to live while Darcey Steinke is writing." -- Maggie Nelson
"A work of art that could only have emerged from the crucible of truth... absolutely beautiful." -- Elizabeth Gilbert
Darcey Steinke, acclaimed author of Flash Count Diary and Suicide Blonde, explores the world of pain for those who suffer and those who love them.
Steinke gets to the heart of pain with her usual brilliance, humor, candor, and empathy. In chapters that trace the body--The Spine, The Heart, The Knees, and more--she introduces sufferers to new and ancient understandings of pain through history, philosophy, religion, pop culture, and reported human experience. Leaving no stone unturned, Steinke takes readers under the knife, through the archives, and across oceans. She interviews working physicians, analyzes the writings of Frida Kahlo, recounts her own back surgery, and journeys to Lourdes, where she finds herself invited to participate in the famed pilgrimage site's rituals.
For readers of Joan Didion, C. S. Lewis, Sheila Heti, and Leslie Jamison, This Is the Door beautifully illuminates the experience of pain and its myriad effects on the body, mind, and soul. Whether you are hurting or know someone who is, whether your pain is somatic or spiritual, This Is the Door is a revelation.
