Description
Claudia Rankine's groundbreaking exploration of pregnancy and childbirth is a stunningly original work that defies genre conventions. Through dreams, conversations, and reflections, Liv and her husband Erland navigate the complexities of new life, confronting fears about bodily change, loss of self, and the uncertainty of creation. This inventive and engrossing meditation on pregnancy explores the emotional and psychological costs of bringing a new being into the world. With language that is both precise and expressive, Rankine crafts a text that is at once deeply personal and universally relatable. A profoundly daring collection, Plot explodes the emotive capabilities of language and form to achieve an unparalleled understanding of creation and existence.
