Böcker av K-Ming Chang

A surreal novella about the intensity and eroticism of girlhood friendships, the ecstasy of desire and disgust, matriarchal mythmaking and the haunting presence of crows.Seven, who works as a cleaner at a chiropractor¿s office, reencounters Cecilia, a woman who has obsessed her since their school days. As the two of them board the same bus ¿ each dubiously claiming not to be following the other ¿ their chance meeting spurs a series of intensely vivid and corporeal memories.Smart, subversive and gripping, Cecilia is a winding, misty road trip through bodily transformation, inextricable histories of desire and violence, diaspora and obsessive love.
