| Summary: | I am a butterfly at half-mast. Muscles coiled like springs. I have not unwound yet," writes Julie Marie Wade in Otherwise. In this series of intimate, braided essays written throughout her thirties, Wade traces her own unwinding and becoming through probing lyricism. As a daughter, lover, lesbian and writer, she invites readers on a journey of self-discovery framed by memory, literature and popular culture. Touching and tender, empathic and insightful, Otherwise revels in its author's self-acceptance at the threshold of mid-life. |
