You Make Yourself Another - Paperback

by Lucy Hannah Ryan (Author)

Who are you, really? That is the question at the heart of Lucy Hannah Ryan's short story collection You Make Yourself Another, a visceral, tender, and elusive meditation on transformation in its many guises. Named for an insult hurled at Hamlet's Ophelia, You Make Yourself Another blurs genre and gender lines to illuminate a state of sharp, queer flux. From a girl whose illness has her slipping between the veil of life and death to a grieving model on the path of self-destruction, from the mystery behind a teenager's disappearance to a woman's journey through bodily autonomy via strange metamorphosis, this collection haunts and hollows in equal measure.
