Produktbeschreibung
Maybe the trans experience is inseparable from the rituals of death. Holding a vigil for the broken body, embracing it and caring for it in its passage," wonders a daughter who yearns to end the silence that reigns between her and her mother on the topic of her sex change. Her thoughts circle back to two words - I am a woman - that imply both a rebirth and mourning for the person she has been for thirty-seven years. But does the transition ever end? Full of profound reflections, Unfinished is a novel that explores the interstices between literary genres to find a language for bridging distances and soothing the grief of an unspoken identity, even as it offers an intelligent appraisal of the potential to throw off family burdens and start living again.
