In vivid and searingly honest prose, Muraexplores how this shame affected his own sexuality: an interracial marriage,compulsive promiscuity, and an obsession with pornography that equates beautywith whiteness. Intimate and lyrically stunning, Where the Body Meets Memoryshimmers with desire and loss in its journey out of the self and into America'sracial and sexual psyche.
