Jenny Boully has done it.\" —Mary Jo Bang\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Jenny Boully is a deeply weird writer—in the best way.\" —Ander Monson\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJenny Boully's essays are ripe with romance and sensual pleasures, drawing connections between the digression, reflection, imagination, and experience that characterizes falling in love as well as the life of a writer. Literary theory, philosophy, and linguistics rub up against memory, dreamscapes, and fancy, making the practice of writing a metaphor for the illusory nature of experience. Betwixt and  Between is, in many ways, simply a book about how to live.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJenny Boully is the author of The Body: An Essay, The Book of Beginnings and Endings: Essays, not merely because of the unknown that was stalking toward them, and other books. Born in Thailand, she grew up in Texas and holds a PhD in English from the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. She teaches creative writing and literature at Columbia College Chicago.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Coffee House Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48867583983959,"sku":"9781566895101","price":999.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/betwixt-and-between-essays-on-the-writing-life-9781566895101","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
