Cecilia





A visceral, bite-size novella from a rising Asian American literary star with a striking, surreal, irreverent voice - one of the '5 under 35' National Book Award honorees

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.
