[A MEMOIR]
”At 35, Kenny Fries wanted to discover what could be learned about the history of his body and the map of physical and psychic scars with which he had lived since infancy. There was no scientific name for the congenital deformities that affected the lower extremities of his body. “I know my past by knowing my scars,” Fries writes. “They do not exist only on my skin, but remain inscribed on the cortex of my brain, the section where memory is stored.” Just as his body had been reconstructed over countless surgeries, Fries sought to reconstruct a record of his disability. He turned to long-buried medical records, unearthed family secrets, and revisited the echoing memories of past relationships.”
