"Beyond the Pages: Lidia Yuknavitch Reveals the Hidden Depths of 'Reading the Waves'"

Typically, books in my possession stay pristine. This one is waterlogged, filled with motherwaters, and dripping with condensation. In yoga, the lesson was on…fluidity. I cannot make this up. Intellectually graceful and sexy as hell, Reading the Waves is at once elegant and brutal. A clear-eyed tell-it-how-it-is narrative, Yuknavitch interrogates what it means to grieve the past and shed the person we once were, while letting go of past people and places in the most mellifluous prose you’ll literally feel as if you’re being carried on a gentle wave with a lovely and attentive guide.
