    Summary:

    This autobiographical novel describes a young Chilean writer recently relocated to New York for doctoral work who suffers a stroke, leaving her blind and increasingly dependent on those closest to her. Fiction and autobiography intertwine in an intense, visceral, and caustic novel about the relation between the body, illness, science, and human relationships. Winner of the Sor Juana IneÌs de la Cruz Prize (Mexico), 2012, and of the Anna Seghers Prize (Germany), 2011.
