Fuse

Více o knize

Painfully and at times, reluctantly, Fuse probes and explores the documented prevalence of mental health issues in biracial women. Fuse has elements of memoir, but does not follow a traditional linear narrative. Rather, the book is a series of meditations that probe different parts of Hollay’s fractured biracial experience, including eating and anxiety disorders, self-mutilation, sex, motherhood, and the simultaneous allure and rejection of aesthetic beauty. In Fuse, Hollay speaks to the struggle to construct a fluid identity in a world that wants to peg you down: what you are, and are not. While Hollay’s experiences are personal, the issues surrounding the biracial identity are wide-spread. A dialogue on the tensions surrounding the female bi-racial mind and body is long overdue.
