ROLLING: A LADIES’ GUIDE TO BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU
Melanie Farmer
“A wise and wry take on identity formation, parental expectations, and proper martial arts attire. Following a young woman’s journey from student to teacher, this thoughtful essay’s nimble voice provides a lively exploration of family bonds and the search for self-mastery.”
–Colson Whitehead, author of The Nickel Boys
Rolling… is a hilarious and poignant essay disguised as a how-to guide. In addition to the martial art of Brazilian jiu jitsu, Farmer explores the boundaries of femininity and maternal expectations. With collaborative illustrations by Amy Wheaton.
