“BODIES ARE US. AND NOT. HOW DO WE FIGURE OUT WHICH IS WHICH? ELISSA WASHUTA TAKES YOU ON A FEARLESS RIDE OF SEX, DRUGS, MOOD DISORDERS, SELF-IMPROVEMENT, DIETING, INTERNET DATING, ETHNIC IDENTITY, AND WHY SHE ISN’T CATHOLIC ANYMORE. MY BODY IS A BOOK OF RULES IS A FUNNY, SCARY, UNPREDICTABLE BOOK; IT READS LIKE THE INSIDE OF YOUR OWN HEAD.”

–SALLIE TISDALE AUTHOR OF TALK DIRTY TO ME

“A GENRE-BENDING ODE TO THE BI-POLAR BRAIN, WASHUTA’S VENOMOUS, LYRICAL CHAPTERS LINK TO FORM A MEMOIR THAT’S DARING, VULNERABLE, CAUSTIC, AND RAW. READING THIS BOOK, YOU FIND YOURSELF IN A STARING CONTEST WITH A WRITER WHO WON’T LOOK AWAY–NOT FROM HER DEVASTATING BETRAYALS OF BODY AND BRAIN, NOR THE CHRONIC SEARCH FOR A CHEMICAL CURE. SHE EXPLORES THE NUANCES OF BLOOD OUANTUM, COSMO, CATECHISM, PSYCHOTHERAPY, PROMISCUITY, FENCING, ANDLAW & ORDER: SVU IN A VOICE THAT EMBRACES ITS SELF-DEPRECATING, SELF-DESTRUCTIVE, HUMOROUS, BEDAZZLED CONTRADICTIONS.”
