The Iliac Crest

5 stars
“I didn’t know what to do with the remnants of my body, my silence, the tongue that crowded behind my teeth. My own ruins.”
The Iliac Crest is a novel that explores, transcends, pushes against and fractures boundaries. As we follow the desperate attempts of the protagonist to reaffirm their identity, the author exposes the fragility of binaries that some societies still cling to. What we define ourselves by are reduced to the artificial letters and sounds that they are, which destabilises the foundations of our reality.
I love texts that uproot and question human concepts, so this one was really captivating. I look forward to rereading this many times in the future.
