But it’s also a place where one has to go on living.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn her singular, astonishing prose, the award-winning Tracey Slaughter offers us the writing that has helped her know her past selves and keep her present self standing. Through scenes from a childhood in 1970s South Auckland, a mother’s hair salon, a stage where actors perform her work, hotel rooms, doctor’s offices, and the car crash that for a time made her life unrecognisable, she describes the desolation of losing faith in language and the joy of finding it again. Together, these fierce and intimate essays chart Slaughter’s return to herself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68134294192364,"sku":"9781776923397","price":38.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781776923397-the-human-dress-1.jpg?v=1794275945","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/products\/the-human-dress-by-tracey-slaughter-9781776923397","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
