ko yo te

<p>how do we forgive those people who have hurt us most?</p><p>a girl who has no family; an argument in heaven. ko yo te is a novel torn to pieces formatted as poetry framed as myth tells a story of being lost and from there of how to find oneself again.</p><p>this short eclectic book is written as something like a collective autofiction with details and perspectives merging and diverging as it explores the fuzzy spaces between women and men stories and truths and living and dying. as an experimental (read: barely parseable) novel it includes snippets of various languages and some very heavy use of japanese without which a reader will probably be lost. it also makes reference to and builds upon mythologies of japan greece ancient israel and the o'odham of arizona and northern mexico. essentially this is a book that probably can't be read by anyone (including in the future its own author) without a few dictionaries and an internet connection handy so be warned. (but if you read it anyways that would make its (present) author very happy.)</p>
