A Point of View - The Organ Recital
Will Self asks why our relationship with our bodies - our corporeal self - has become such a distant one.
"One thing that becomes screamingly obvious the second we fall ill - and which remains with us day after day, if we're chronically so - is that we are our bodies", he writes.
He warns of the dangers of exalting our minds above all else.
