About this ebook
LIKE AN OPEN WOUND: RAW, BLOODY, PULSING: Gabriela Ponce's explosive debut showcases eroticism, menstruation, pain, and pregnancy with an unwavering and refreshing focus on physicality and the female gaze.
LABYRINTHINE AND UNFORGETTABLE SCENES: Gabriela Ponce's exploration of the narrator’s omnipresent trypophobia and overflowing eroticism creates a haunting sensory landscape.
A BOLD AND WILD RIDE: Gabriela Ponce's English-language debut is a torrent of a narrative alternating between scenes of intense, visceral eroticism and emotional vulnerability.
A POIGNANT CONSIDERATION OF CHOICE AND BODILY AUTONOMY: The unnamed narrator grapples with an unplanned pregnancy at the age of thirty-eight
- PERFECT FOR FANS OF REFINED GROTESQUERIE: Readers who enjoy the visceral descriptions of the female body and its functions (and excretions) from the likes of Sarah Rose Etter, Fernanda Melchor, Carmen Maria Machado, Alissa Nutting, Amie Barrodale, and Ottessa Moshfegh will relish Ponce’s fluid-centric narrative.
