The Body Papers: A Stunningly Hopeful<br />
Memoir of Trauma and Survival as a<br />
Filipino Immigrant<br />
NEW!<br />
Grace Talusan’s critically acclaimed<br />
autobiography-in-essays The Body Papers<br />
depicts her life from birth in the<br />
Philippines through her subsequent move<br />
with her family to a New England suburb<br />
in the 1970s. At school, she confronts<br />
racism as one of the few kids with a<br />
brown face. At home, the confusion is<br />
worse: her grandfather’s nightly visits to<br />
her room leave her hurt and terrified, and<br />
she learns to build a protective wall of<br />
silence that maps onto the larger silence<br />
practiced by her Catholic Filipino family. Talusan learns as a teenager<br />
that her family’s legal status in the country has always hung<br />
by a thread—for a time, they were “illegal.” Family, she’s told,<br />
must be put first.<br />
A graduate of Tufts University and the MFA Program in Writing at<br />
UC Irvine, Grace Talusan is the recipient of a U.S. Fulbright Fellowship<br />
to the Philippines and an Artist Fellowship Award from the<br />
Massachusetts Cultural Council. Talusan teaches the Essay Incubator<br />
at GrubStreet and at the Jonathan M. Tisch College of Civic Life<br />
at Tufts. She is the Fannie Hurst Writer-in-Residence at Brandeis<br />
University for 2019–2021. The Body Papers, winner of the Restless<br />
Books Prize for New Immigrant Writing, is her first book.<br />
