Writer Between Worlds

“The closet is not just for gay people. (…) Everybody’s closeted and everybody plays pretend. They all walk around saying ‘I am’, even though they have no idea who they are. What they’re often saying is, ‘I want to make you feel comfortable, so I’m going to contort myself into who I think that you want me to be.’ That is a form of injury that I, as a poet, could spend eons trying to write and never articulate. The pain of feeling like the only way you can belong is by betraying yourself and shapeshifting. Knowing that that love is dependent on your self-disappearance.”

Alok V. Menon, comedian and poet, in an interview

That, in a nutshell, is what CRISALIDĂ is about
#love #acceptance #freedom #choices

Crisalidă – o ficțiune introspectivă, alertă, profundă, pasionantă și poetică despre felul în care ne contorsionăm ca să fim acceptați. Și despre momentul în care ajungi să trădezi niște oameni, pentru că nu te mai poți trăda la nesfârșit doar pe tine.
