# 2022 National Book Festival: My Body, Not My Self: Wrestling with Identity with Diana Goetsch and Sarah Ruhl

Who hasn't at some point felt like their body isn't the same as the person, the soul inhabiting that body? In "This Body I Wore," Diana Goetsch chronicles a full account of her trans life. In "Smile," Ruhl shares her story after suffering partial face paralysis that left her incapable of accurately communicating her feelings. Moderated by Rob Casper.
