What is this: I? Where does it begin, where does it end? The narrative person Kim feels alien in her body in the face of a world that demands clear classifications and categorizes people in strict binary divisions as either male or female. The narrative person tries to fill the emptiness in her core through excessive sex. When her grandmother, who suffers from dementia, is about to sink into forgetting, Kim embarks on a quest deep into the past of her family history. A wild, sprawling root system of memories comes to light. It is about the love-hate relationship with her mother and grandmother, longings, taboos, childhood monsters, and mechanisms of repression. In this process, a new, fluid self emerges – a self that melts away the patterns of patriarchal masculinity and dividing boundaries.

Kim de L'Horizons' award-winning, exciting novel, recognized with the German and Swiss Literature Prize, is a brutally radical yet ecstatically magical confrontation with one's own roots and the prevailing power relations.
