AARON GWYN: Pain can recalibrate your life. It can change your personality. It did mine. The doctors fixed me, and I was able to return to martial arts/the gym during my thirties, but I was never the same: not physically, not mentally. In some ways I’m stronger, but I’m also stranger. To my thinking, Cormac McCarthy is the great chronicler of physical pain. I’m thinking of All the Pretty Horses, especially. Such a realistic depiction of what pain actually feels like, of how a body reacts to it, of how the brain reacts to it. I’m very interested in that. The body comes first. The brain is a powerful organ, but the nerves that send those little signals to it are more powerful. Aaron Gwyn talks to Kyle Minor: the.blvr.org/1rbeIDI
