Not only is it a small book -- only 176 pages -- but teen it is a startlingly intimate look at the limits of teen medicine and the role of sexuality in our identity. Kaysen made headlines with her previous memoir, Girl, Interrupted, the 1993 bestseller that chronicled her two-year stay in a mental institution. Her first book provided candid details about the "parallel universe" of mental illness, and in Camera, Kaysen again toys with societal taboos by describing the medical ordeal she endured "when something went wrong" with her vagina. With terse writing and a wry sense of humor, Kaysen describes a months-long litany of doctor visits as she tries to find a cure for her constant vaginal pain. Her ailment, which she likens to "a little dentist drilling a little hole," stumps a host of specialists.
