The Body in Its Seasons
Madeleine Ekezie has done everything right, but she is deeply lonely. When she discovers the story of The Body - a maybe mythical, definitely magical being who feeds the hungry and soothes the hurt - Maddy blows her life up to find it. The Body in Its Seasons is a poetic journal of Maddy’s obsession, compiled in footnotes, conversations and diary entries.
