This text seems to me a very interesting one. I experienced pleasure and amusement while I was moving between the writer’s anecdotes, and the way she assigns every part of her body to a certain anecdote. Technically speaking, the female body shown in the drawing appears as a text, and the writer, rather than providing her own story in the traditional way, invites us to click on each part of the body to find out what she wants to tell us about this part, or a story related to it. The whole process as she deploys it in this work is that she writes her body. So, the body, rather than a physical entity, is treated as a set of words and sentences. Then, she invites us to read the text, her body. What is interesting to me is the way that she transforms her body parts to abstractness; that she makes these part as sites for meditation and reflection. In other words, she transcends the physical realm of body to its invisible connections.

The reader is motivated to think about these connections by the sort of language she uses to talk about her body and the painstaking and lively descriptions she deploys. The language is highly metaphoric which instigates the reader’s imagination. Her descriptions also instigate the reader to form a mental projection of the picture she is trying to draw, though pictures are provided, but in black. She claims that she draws what she could see of her body; however, she “pictures” her brain “as something like a burrow, a labyrinthine system of contorted tunnels with hairpin turns” in metaphoric language. In another instance, she demonstrates that her body is “virtually covered with tattoos,” but two of them are visible for anybody who wants to read them. Again and in practice, she emphasizes that her body is a site for inscription for readers to read. On the other hand, I encountered difficulty in sustaining a good sense and connection between anecdotes as I click on the hyperlinks to move to different part of narrative. I even felt that hyperlinks links discordant and bifurcated narratives in terms of content. For instance, while she talks about her neck, by clicking on the available hyperlink you will be taken to her story of her nose and so on.
