""I begin to see the inner workings in all their complexity: how the muscles of the shoulder slide so beautifully over one another, how they attach to bones at different points to support complete, all-around movement...""
""Swimming and muscles are topics, not books, so...it's about casting a really wide net for the material and stories and collecting what's interesting to me...""
Bonnie Tsui's 'On Muscle: The Stuff That Moves Us and Why It Matters' intricately explores the complexities of human muscles through a blend of memoir, journalism, and philosophy. Through dissecting muscle structure and function, Tsui illustrates how muscles facilitate movement and work in concert. Her writing process is described as a metaphorical experience of muscles expanding and contracting in a literary mosaic. Collaborative efforts with her editor, Amy Gash, enhance this complex narrative, reminiscent of her previous bestseller about swimming.
