a novel on a man's body I have been reading a novel which a french writer wrote about a man's body in. The main character keeps a diary describing his own body growing, changing and ageing, finally dying from 12 to 86 years old. There are many interesting facts about men's body in the book, which I have never heard of. When I come across something I do not understand from the novel, I wish I had some guy to ask what that exactly means.
