Historia3.5 out of 5 stars 14
When the opossum feels threatened, she becomes paralyzed. Her body temperature plummets, her breathing and heart rates drop to a minimum, and her glands simulate the smell of a putrefying corpse. Playing Possum explores what the opossum and other creatures can teach us about how we and other species understand mortality, and demonstrates that the concept of death, far from being a uniquely human attribute, is widespread in the animal kingdom.

The narration is unbearable.

The subject matter is fascinating but I can't tolerate the narrator's unnatural, nonsensical cadance and the bizarre emphasis on words that shouldn't be empathized. I can't listen beyond the first chapter. I hope to get my money back from Audible so I can purchase a paper copy. I am so sorry for this talented author that her work is presented this way and I hope attempted listeners will try again with a paper copy.

A global movement guided by love. Humans are a varied and divergent bunch with all manner of beliefs, morals, and bodies. Systems of oppression thrive off our inability to make peace with difference and injure the relationship we have with our own bodies. The Body Is Not an Apology offers radical self-love as the balm to heal the wounds inflicted by these violent systems. World-renowned activist and poet Sonya Renee Taylor invites us to reconnect with the radical origins of our minds and bodies and celebrate our collective, enduring strength.
