Her many essays have appeared in \u003ci\u003eHarper's, Conjunctions, The New Yorker, Antioch Review, The Threepenny Review\u003c\/i\u003e, and many other journals. This first collection of work spans 30 years and includes an introduction and brief epilogues to each essay. Tisdale's questing curiosity pursues subjects from the biology of flies to the experience of working in an abortion clinic, why it is so difficult to play sports with men, and whether it's possible for writers to tell the truth. She restlessly returns to themes of the body, the family, and how we try to explain ourselves to each other. She is unwilling to settle for easy answers, and she finds the ambiguity and wonder underneath ordinary events. The collection includes a recent essay never before published, about the mystery of how we present\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSALLIE TISDALE \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of seven books, including \u003ci\u003eTalk Dirty to Me\u003c\/i\u003e (Doubleday, 1994) and \u003ci\u003eThe Best Thing I Ever Tasted\u003c\/i\u003e (Riverhead, 2000), a finalist for the James Beard Award for Writing.
