(added from Macmillan) Eve Ensler: In the Body of the World, at First Congregational Church KPFA Radio and Pegasus Books present: EVE ENSLER IN THE BODY OF THE WORLD A Memoir Hosted by Erica Bridgeman When: Monday, May 20, 7:30 pm Where: First Congregational Church 2501 Harrison, Oakland Tickets: $35 advance (includes signed book, avail. at event) $38 at door Tickets available soon at Pegasus Books or at brownpapertickets.com Even though Eve Ensler has devoted her life to the female body—how to talk about it, how to protect and value it—she has spent much of her life disassociated from her own body. This disconnection was brought on by her father’s sexual abuse and her mother’s remoteness. “Because I did not, could not inhabit my body or the Earth,” she writes, “I could not feel or know their pain.” But Eve is shocked out of her distance. While working in the Congo, she is shattered by her encounter with the horrific rape and violence inflicted on the women there. Soon after, she is diagnosed with uterine cancer, and through months of harrowing treatment she is forced to become first and foremost a body – pricked, punctured, cut, scanned. It is then that all the distance is erased. As she connects her own illness to the devastation of the Earth, her life force to the resilience of humanity, she is finally, fully – and gratefully – joined to the body of the world. Unflinching, generous, sometimes humorous, always inspiring, IN THE BODY OF THE WORLD is a transformative work that calls on us all to embody our connection to and responsibility for the world. Internationally renowned playwright, activist and author (The Vagina Monologues and I Am an Emotional Creature, among other works) Ensler is the founder of V-Day, the global movement to end violence against women and girls, which has raised over $90 million for local groups and activists. Advance praise for In he Body of the World: “Astonishing” —Mary Oliver “A masterpiece! Ensler has accomplished the impossible: woven huge, bold, world-changing ides together with beautiful writing, amazing metaphors, and original structure. Truly one of the most courageous and original works of our time.” —Naomi Klein “I dare anyone to read In the Body of the World without crying, without crying out, without getting up out of their chair and rising to this beautiful broken world with awe and gratitude. Eve Ensler embodies the fierce flame of love on the page and in the world. There is no pity here, only the raw force of courage in the face of fear and violence, and the healing grace of honesty.” —Terry Tempest Williams This event is a KPFA Benefit
