Yesterday you were angry at green
by Eliza Kącka
I knew I always had to be ready for the wild, weird scenario. And that we had to stick together in it. This autobiographical prose is uncompromising and bravura. It is a story about the double experience of a certain otherness and of not fitting into a socially imposed framework. About the painstaking but beautiful process of building a difficult, non-obvious relationship. About being a mother and a daughter. About life leeway, performing the world and dredging up knowledge. About courage; about love. About living in a cocoon and emerging as a butterfly. About how much words can mean and what it's like to see them in colour.
