Description
In a searching and powerful debut memoir, award-winning poet and literary translator Ani Gjika tells a different kind of immigrant story by writing about the ways a woman listens to her own body, intuition, and desire.There are plenty of memoirs celebrating the stories of confident, rebellious women who know what they want. That is not this book.
Ani Gjika was born in Albania and came of age just after the fall of Communism, a time in which everyone had a secret to keep and young women were afraid to walk down the street alone. When her family finally emigrates to America, Gjika finds herself far from the grandmother who helped raise her, grappling with a new language, and feeling isolated from aging parents who are trying in their own ways to survive. Then she meets a young Indian man whose mind leans toward writing as hers does, and Ani falls in love--at least, she thinks it's love.
Set across four countries--Albania, Thailand, India, and the U.S.--An Unruled Body tells the story of a girl's journey to womanhood through the lenses of language, sexuality, and identity, and how she learned to find freedom of expression on her own terms.
