Gross Anatomy

Gross Anatomy is a humorous and candid essay collection by Mara Altman that explores her relationship with her body and the curious questions it prompts. Divided into two sections, "The Top Half" and "The Bottom Half," the book combines personal stories, research, and illustrations to examine our perceptions of bodily features and surprises. With a light-hearted approach, it reveals that there is a certain beauty in embracing our natural, sometimes gross, bodily realities.
