Soft Tissue Damage with Anna Whitwham

​As part of our ongoing collaboration with Rough Trade Books, we’re pleased to welcome Anna Whitwham and her book, Soft Tissue Damage, for a reading and discussion on grief, boxing and the human body.

​Selected as one of Shakespeare & Co's 'Year of Reading' titles, Soft Tissue Damage, tells the story of Anna Whitwham's lifelong interest in boxing manifesting itself in the physical act of getting into the ring to fight. Tender, insightful, honest and full of startling and original thought, this is a book that fully examines what the human body is both capable and incapable of, a book that examines what the human body truly means in its capacity for sexuality and violence, love and death, strength and vulnerability.
