Orpheus Builds A Girl by Heather Parry

4.0

in the same way that tell me im worthless was brewed in a lab for me and my interests, this was built like that for my friend holly (hi holly ily). anyways! a very interesting reflection on the grotesque and the way women particularly women of colors bodies are never viewed as their own. its fascinating to me too the decision to not give luciana’s pov, so that shes effectively voiceless with her sister and the doctor telling her story. horror that actually horrifies! also this is based on true events too : / i did find the doctor’s sections more difficult to read just because of how they were written, but i think it works as a way to show us he thinks this is a factual story. fucked up!
