5.0
"I am bewitched, entranced. There are aspects of myself that are starting to come into focus and other facets which are becoming blurry, softer.
There is an alchemy at work, a sparkling transmutation. Like muscle and bone turned to light and air. There are moments when I am unencumbered by my body...This is witchery of the sweetest kind. I'm enrapt, spellbound. Like we've written and cast a mutual spell over ourselves."
raw and experimental and beautiful! this unique "displaced memoir" and exploratory fiction melded together was a wonderfully weird read, and the experience really deepen my enjoyment of the author's fiction works.
