Talk of Iowa

In 2007, Nina Lohman got a headache and it never went away. She has seen dozens of doctors and tried an abundance of remedies, conventional and alternative. On this episode of Talk of Iowa, host Charity Nebbe is joined by Lohman to discuss her memoir, The Body Alone: A Lyrical Articulation of Chronic Pain.

Kirkus Reviews

Starred Review

A graceful memoir of suffering and coping.

North American Review

To stay with Lohman is to stay with the 3 million Americans suffering from chronic pain–to investigate and consider pain, to empathize, and, ultimately, to demand change. I anticipate this book will mark a major contribution to conversations about medical inequity, and to disability literature at large.
