The book is a space where everything collapses: form, genre, being. A black hole opens, one that must be returned to in order to be born. The fragments brush against extinction, overflow, flee and join the fall, mixing and contaminating generations, journeys and desires. Setting aside character, events and linear structure, the book takes on the conflicts of our societies, from the environment and identity to feminism and racism, in words of insubordination meant to topple foundations and nations.
