In this unique graphic narrative, we finally have that candid, funny and relatable book on pregnancy and parenting that mothers, expectant mothers, and anyone even thinking about motherhood have been waiting for. Actor and writer Kalki Koechlin opens up about so much that we don't talk about-the social stigma of abortions and unmarried pregnancies, the toll that pregnancy takes on a body, the unacknowledged domestic labour of women, the emotional rollercoaster of giving birth, bouts of postpartum melancholy, the unsolicited parenting advice from every corner, and of course the innumerable moments of joy and delight in bringing a real little person into this very weird world. With whimsy and compassion, with uproariously funny art and spellbinding honesty, The Elephant in the Womb blends the deeply private with the blazingly political. It's an eye-opener for anyone who has ever thought that pregnancy was all about the glow and that motherhood was all about fulfilment. From fixing broken parts to enduring untimely farts, Koechlin's nuanced prose-gorgeously illustrated by Valeriya Polyanychko-tells us the bare-faced truth about the physiological discomfort and manic expectations that make it a bittersweet experience. With a combination of personal essays and think-pieces, journal entries captured in real time, reflections and anecdotes, this is the motherload!"--Publisher's website. 650 0 $a Motherhood $x Psychological aspects. 650 0 $a Motherhood $v Anecdotes. 650 0 $a Motherhood $v Pictorial works. 650 0 $a Mother and child. 650 0 $a Essays. 700 1 $a Polyanychko, Valeriya, $e illustrator. 941 $a 1 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20220630014005.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B1FE5D42F83C11EC97B2B25526ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b IWRInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
