Wound follows a young lesbian poet on a journey from Moscow to her hometown in Siberia, where she has promised to bury her mother's ashes. Woven throughout this travel narrative are harrowing and at times sublime memories of her childhood and her sexual and artistic awakening.
Wound holds nothing back in its exploration of complex relationships, including lesbian ones, and its unsparing approach to difficult subjects ... A wide-ranging novel that reflects on death, grief, womanhood, creativity, and women’s sexuality.
