Aprašymas

Naming the Body: A Queer Woman's Restorative Mapping of the Self celebrates and reclaims a queer woman's uprooted, mothering, ailing body and an erased identity through memory and language. An identity that just three decades ago could not be claimed because women, especially queer women, didn't have the language to signify and embrace them. This collection of sixteen units of text, freeing itself from all form or expectations, is written with unequivocal honesty and one single goal in mind: to give voice to a silenced body. The result is literary patchwork, storytelling under the stars, a cry, a riddle, a manifesto, even a road map for the future! Naming the Body is a contemporary hybrid memoir in translation that places the body at the center of multiple realities through a unique, interrogative, and entertaining reading experience.
