Beschreibung
QUIXOTIC FISSURES. is a hybrid collection of essays, stories and other writing that foreground moments of transformation, reconfiguration and regeneration of the body and the mind. Irenosen Okojie takes as her starting point the idea of carrying trauma in the body, exploring experiences of depression and illness; considering healing powers shared between generations of women in her family; and recounting her experience of prejudice at an all girls English boarding school with spirit, humour and insight. The collection closes with The Things I Remember About My Father. , a deeply moving essay in which we witness the affirmation of a deep, transgenerational bond in spite of a devastating loss. As the pieces make clear, this will be a work of boundless imagination and acute inquiry that celebrates the evolving body moving through life with all its pain and glory.
