Description
A darkly funny and defiant debut novel about a young woman in a care home seeking autonomy and the full possibilities of her life. Born with a congenital muscle disorder, Shaka's physical life is limited, but her quick, mischievous mind has no boundaries. She takes e-learning courses, publishes explicit fantasies, and anonymously trolls-tweets to see if anyone is paying attention. When Shaka tweets an offer of an enormous sum of money for a sperm donor, her new nurse accepts the dare, unleashing a series of events that will forever change Shaka's sense of herself as a woman in the world. This unrepentant and feminist story is a powerful exploration of the dignity of an individual who insists on their right to make choices for themselves, no matter the consequences. Shaken Japanese literary culture with its skillful depiction of the physical body, this novel is a thrilling and unforgettable tale of sex, disability, and power.
