Seven, a cleaner at a chiropractor's office, encounters Cecilia, a woman who has obsessed her since their school days. Their chance meeting sparks a series of intensely vivid and corporeal memories, blurring the line between past and present. Seven's desire begins to unravel her from the flow of time.
Cecilia is a captivating and intricate novel that takes readers on a winding, misty road trip through bodily transformation, inextricable histories of violence and love, and the ghosts of girlhood friendship. K-Ming Chang's prose is a lightning strike of a debut, ravishes, ravages, and rampages. It is wild and lyrical, visionary and touching, and has been praised by authors such as Kelly Link, Sharlene Teo, Tash Aw, Bryan Washington, and the New York Times Book Review.
The novel explores themes of desire, obsession, and the complexities of human relationships. Seven's journey is filled with self-discovery, as she confronts her past and present and struggles to find her place in the world. Cecilia, on the other hand, is a complex and enigmatic character, whose motivations are not always clear.
The novel is also a commentary on the nature of power and control, as Seven and Cecilia navigate their complex relationship and the societal pressures that surround them. Chang's writing is bold and unapologetically queer, and he rewrites the world as a place of radical transformation.
Overall, Cecilia is a thrilling and disorienting novel that will leave readers breathless and longing for more. It is a gift and a masterclass, and a must-read for anyone who loves literature that pushes boundaries and challenges preconceptions.
