A poetic, autobiographical collection from famed Mauritian writer
Ananda Devi, engaging with loneliness, desire, violence, and aging.
"I'm sick of biting off and chewing this dust, of scratching with
my thin claws, searching for some chunk of literary gold to hell
with all the disarrayed images of our homelands reflections of our
particular misery." From eminent Mauritian writer Ananda Devi, a
collection that transgresses genre lines with poetic,
autobiographical flow. The pieces herein address the resonance of
personal memories and regrets, the political world, and sexuality.
In light of the complexity of human identity, Devi emphasizes the
importance of each word chosen, speaking directly to the reader and
asking them to "peel back my skin. Unclothe me of myself."
