Broken Places & Outer Spaces

Memoirs of the author: paralysis following a failed surgery at nineteen, painful rehabilitation, racism in publishing, and the birth of her futuristic African worlds upon the ruins of a broken body. A narrative essay on creativity born from cracks, with Frida Kahlo and Frankenstein as tutelary figures.
