The longlist of the 2023 Booker Prize. Multifaceted, poetic, largely experimental text supplemented with verbiage, poems, facts about the human body, and articles where words dance, break off, form pictures, and scatter like fireworks. The novel "Maps of Our Exquisite Bodies" is dedicated to the theme of cancer. It is literally a journey through the life of the heroine Lee, partly narrated by the voice of her illness. We learn about Lee's childhood, difficult relationships with her parents, first love, creative path, the birth of her daughter, the first encounter with the disease, and the final reconciliation with it. Maddie Mortimer's unique style and special sense of humor make this story touching and life-affirming at the same time. A heart-wrenching yet darkly funny novel. Mortimer delves into the body and spirit of literature, taking an experience familiar to many of us and making it completely unique. This book is somewhere between the mundane and the epic, the comedic and the melancholic.
