The Language of Bodies by Suzanne DeWitt Hall

Hall’s elegant prose, coupled with her relentless examination of the perils faced by the deepest parts of the human soul, leave the reader breathless. She's been a repeated guest on CNN, the Today Show, and even Oprah! I'm absolutely thrilled to receive such a glowing review from this luminary. 'Suzanne DeWitt Hall’s seditious and seductive novel The Language of Bodies is brilliantly unnerving. In addition to teaching literature, Barreca is the author of hilarious, insightful essays and books.

The love story at the center of the tale moves readers and helps them realize the essential humanity of transgender people, and the very real danger prejudice presents. I recommend this debut novel with enthusiasm for its tenderness and courage.' The Language of Bodies is a page-turner which does just that. With grace, with a sense of humble grandeur, and with deft writing, DeWitt Hall manages to give us what very few writers offer: a satisfying yet provocative conclusion. We become increasingly desperate to know how the multiple plots and intertwined themes will resolve themselves. To call it a page-turner is entirely accurate, because the complex central character is driven by loss, love, fear, fury, and desire, even as she works towards her own negotiation with the larger forces of the universe.

'Suzanne DeWitt Hall’s seditious and seductive novel “The Language of Bodies” is brilliantly unnerving. This powerful novel, however, is a very different genre.
