And neither Kaysen's cheery gynecologist, nor her internist, nor a laconic \"vulvologist\" has the cure. An alternative health nurse suggests direct application of tea, baking soda, and boric acid. Others recommend novocaine, oatmeal, \"bio-feedback,\" and anti-depressants. Nothing works. As sex becomes more and more painful, Kaysen's relationship with her boyfriend disintegrates and she turns to her best friends, her wicked sense of humor, and finally wry self-reflection to get herself through. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUsing this unusual lens, Kaysen challenges us to think in new ways about the centrality and power of sexuality. \u003cb\u003eThe Camera My Mother Gave Me\u003c\/b\u003e is an unexpected and revelatory book from one of our most candid, insightful and consistently surprising writers. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Susanna Kaysen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/08\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.18h x 5.18w x 0.45d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780679763437\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSusanna Kaysen is the author of the novels \u003ci\u003eFar Afield\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eAsa, As I Knew Him\u003c\/i\u003e and the memoir\u003ci\u003e Girl, Interrupted\u003c\/i\u003e.
