Blurb
A profound and deeply personal exploration of pain, the body and loss by the beloved author ofBluets and The Argonauts
'Full of warmth, wisdom and weirdness' JENNY MUSTARD
This is a dreamlike portrait of a body in struggle to connect with itself and others. As the narrator contends with chronic pain, and with a pandemic raging in the background, she sets out to examine the literal and symbolic role of the mouth in the life of a writer.
Pathemata recounts the narrator's tragicomic search to alleviate her suffering, a search that eventually becomes a reckoning with various forms of loss - the loss of intimacy, the loss of her father and the loss of a pivotal friend and mentor. In exacting, distilled prose, her account blurs the lines between embodied, unconscious and everyday life.

'Among the sharpest and most supple thinkers of her generation' OLIVIA LAING
