The Body Parts Shop

The Body Parts Shop is a collection of intriguingly perverse, provocative tales that encompass both the beautiful and grotesque nature of human interaction. The stories combine as a wayward declaration to the physical form, while independently delving into the secret and sordid recesses of our darker subconscious.

Like J.D. Salinger’s Nine Stories, The Body Parts Shop offers a vision that is at once oddly poetic and clandestinely morbid. In “The History of My Breasts” Schor weaves an enchantingly bizarre tale of outrageous and unapologetic infatuation, all centered on the perfect, huge bosom of one woman. “The Scalp Agency” chronicles the efforts of a bald stockbroker to buy himself a new head of hair.

Schor has concocted a satirical revelation of the new America, where every message is an advertisement and everything is for sale — our beliefs, our thoughts, our private moments, and even our body parts.

"Lynda Schor’s stories are as dazzling as her readers have come to expect."
