This book explores what it’s wish to navigate beauty

“I'm in a bar in Brooklyn, listening to 2 men, my friends, discuss whether my life is price living.” So begins Easy Beauty, the debut book and genre-bending memoir from philosophy professor and Pulitzer Prize-finalist author Chloé Cooper Jones. It’s not the primary time her body – its autonomy and inherent value – has been discussed in front of her.
