1 peopleA non-binary narrator follows a path that begins with a grandmother’s dementia and moves through family silence, matrilineal memory, the body, class, and the limits of language. The result is a story of self-exploration and self-unmaking that keeps shifting shape.
It traces unnamed fractures again through experiments in language.
