Unsex Me Here

<p><span><b>“A fairy tale, in the classic, sparkling, and powerful ways." —Michelle Tea</b></span></p><p><b>If Aurora Mattia is a switchboard operator, then <i>Unsex Me Here</i> is her call log. Please hold. There’s someone on the other line. A spider, a sibyl, an angel, a mermaid, a goddess, or an ex-girlfriend.</b><br></p><p><span><i>Unsex Me Here</i></span><span> is a prayer book tied together by the strings of a corset. Glamorous ramblers, haunted by the sense of another world drawing near, wander in and out of its inexplicable twilight. From a West Texas town with a supernatural past to a stalactite cavern in the birthplace of Aphrodite, from hotel rooms to gardens to the far horizon of a thought, they seek the source of the disturbance in their minds. Heartbreak is not so far from rapture; holy babble is another kind of gossip. Every pilgrimage is as dense with symbolism as it is refined by desire.</span></p>
