Since its publication nearly fifteen years ago, Lidia Yuknavitch’s The Chronology of Water has amassed a devoted readership. Here at Corporeal Writing, we like to ask folks how they’ve come to enroll in our creative labs and spend time creating with us. Often, the response we hear is some version of, “I read The Chronology of Water and thought…holy shit, I didn’t know you were allowed to do that!”

Well, what is that that?

In Chronology, Lidia set out to tell stories that felt impossible to hold in traditional linear narratives and the usual “memoir” forms. Stories she couldn’t tell from beginning to end. Stories that resisted the simplicity of plot. These stories lived in her body—a swimmer’s body, a daughter’s body, a sister’s body, an addict’s body, a writer’s body—and in order to bring to life a truer reflection of how we experience our own stories and our own memories, she set out to map her body’s point of view and to find new forms that could hold what needed to be held.
