Fans of Bill Bryson will be thrilled to hear that later this year, Transworld is to publish a brand new book from the author. The Body: A Guide for Occupants will be published in October and is promised to be “an extraordinary exploration of the human body which will have you marvelling at the form you occupy”.
Anyone familiar with Bryson’s writing will know that this book will bring us interesting facts in his own unique and charismatic voice. The book will be a successor to Bryson’s 2010 book A Short History of Nearly Everything and will help readers “understand the miracle of our physical and neurological make up”, according to a press release from the publisher.
Bryson said: “We spend our whole lives in one body and yet most of us have practically no idea how it works and what goes on inside it. The idea of the book is simply to try to understand the extraordinary contraption that is us. What I learned is that we are infinitely more complex and wondrous, and often more mysterious, than I had ever suspected. There really is no story more amazing than the story of us.”
Bill Bryson’s unique, charismatic and often humour filled voice has made him one of the most popular nonfiction authors of our time. To date he has sold more than 9.8 million books.
The Body: A Guide for Occupants will be published by Transworld on 3rd October 2019 and in the US and Canada by Doubleday on 15th October 2019, and is available for pre-order on the link below.
