What is this: I? Where does it begin, where does it end? The narrator Kim feels foreign in her body in the face of a world that demands clear classifications and categorizes people in a strict binary as either male or female. The narrator tries to fill the emptiness within her by engaging in excessive sex. When her grandmother, who suffers from dementia, is on the verge of sinking into oblivion, Kim embarks on a quest deep into her family’s past. What emerges is a wildly sprawling root system of memory images. It is about the love-hate relationship with mother and grandmother, longings, taboos, childhood monsters, and mechanisms of oppression. In the process, a new, fluid self is formed – a self that melts away the patterns of patriarchal masculinity and separating boundaries.

Kim de L’Horizons, among others, is an award-winning author of the German and Swiss Literature Prize, and her exciting novel is an unflinchingly radical yet ecstatically magical confrontation with one’s own roots and the prevailing power structures.
