The Position of the Body takes up the weighty subject of mortality without being morbid. Stern sneaks his subject in under many guises--African literature, Chicago-based fiction, TV news, to name a few--connecting his wide-ranging pieces with a slender but durable thematic thread. Stern's particular tack on the world ties this orderly miscellany together and produces not just something greater than its parts, but an altogether enchanting book.
