Books that resonate, deeply.

We travel through life in our bodies, yet there isn’t an easy literary genre that captures stories of our physical existence. This platform is devoted to literature that lays bare singular experiences of how we understand ourselves and the world through our bodies.

Recommend a book.

The Embodied Reader is a virtual library that explores the relationship between embodiment and empathy through literature.
