Butts: A Backstory

byHeather Radke

Whether we love them or hate them, think they’re sexy, think they’re strange, consider them too big, too small, or anywhere in between, humans have a complicated relationship with butts. Using biographical detail, personal testimony, and historical context, Butts moves between close observation and a wider account of the systems surrounding its subject. By placing Butts within biography & autobiography and history, the book reveals why its central tensions extend well beyond one person, place, or moment. Readers come away with both the essential context and a sharper sense of how the backstory continues to shape the present.
