Corpsing


‘An essential collection of flaying honesty and beauty in every perfectly formed sentence. It will stay with me for a very long time.’
– LOUISE O’NEILL

‘Provocative and profound, full of brutal truths and unexpected humour.’
– SARA BAUME

‘Brilliant. A raw feast of insight into the grotesque and joyous reality of being, particularly in a female body, from pregnancy, blood cravings, to the mundane horror of grief. White reminds us living is a phenomenon. I read this like I was sucking marrow from a bone.’
– CAELAINN HOGAN

‘Sophie White leads us by the hand through a purgatorio of grief, mental illness, addiction and pandemic. Her experience and wisdom speak to this strange time.’ – MIKE MCCORMACK

"It's extraordinary. Painful, powerful, visceral and spiritual. A remarkable book.' - Marian Keyes Nora Ephron meets Bram Stoker in Sophie White's vivid and ambitious literary non-fiction collection. White asks uncomfortable questions about the lived reality of womanhood in the 21st century, and the fear that must be internalised in order to find your path through it. White balances vivid storytelling with sharp-witted observations about the horrors of grief, mental illness, and the casual and sometimes hilarious cruelty of life.
