about

Part of a special recording project for StorySave, Written in the Body is a unique and deeply personal story from Master teller Jan Andrews. In it, Jan combines a literary tale about a young man compelled to dress as a woman to mark his coming of age, with the personal story of her journeys around sexuality, and of what might have been.

“Written in the Body is the shimmering, irresistible story of life-long yearnings. Andrews’ voice is supple, unforgettable, and perfectly paced for this extraordinary drama of discovery,”

- Jo Radner, past president, National Storytelling Network, U.S.A.

About Jan Andrews:

Storytelling lost an enormous talent and champion in September 2017. Jan Andrews was an extraordinary teller and author, and StorySave was lucky to have recorded two albums of her work, Two Women of the Odyssey in 2015, and the very personal Written in the Body, in 2014.
