<p><b><i>PROSE Award Winner for Biography and Autobiography<br><br>Named one of Library Journal's Best Books of 2023</i></b><br><br><b><i>Winner, Next Generation Indie Book Awards - Women's Nonfiction</i></b><br><b><br>Offers thought-provoking theories and life-transforming ways to deal with pain</b><br><br>What can we ask of pain? How can we be more creative and courageous in carrying pain in our lives? In this genre-bending work that is equal parts memoir and scholarly criticism, L. Ayu Saraswati provides thought-provoking theories and life-transforming ways to understand pain, specifically in relation to feminism. Arguing that pain is not merely a state we are in, <i>Scarred</i> reframes pain as a “transnational feminist object,” something that we can carry across international borders. Drawing on her own experience traveling across twenty countries within just over a year, Saraswati aims to bring readers along on her journey so that they might ask themselves, “How can I live with pain differently?”<br><br>By using pain as a lens of feminist analysis, <i>Scarred</i> allows us to chart how power produces and operates through pain, and how pain is embodied and embedded in relationships. Saraswati provides a heartfelt and engaging recount of her experiences while also pushing the boundaries of the respective fields her story engages with. She allows for renewed academic and personal insights to blossom by using a blend of transnational feminist theory, travel studies, and pain studies. Ultimately, <i>Scarred</i> invites us to reframe pain and ask how might we carry it in a more humane, life-sustaining, enchanting, and feminist way.</p>
