"In this debut collection of body-horror fairy tales and mid-apocalyptic Catholic cyberpunk, memory and myth, loss and age, these are the tools of storyteller Jarboe, a talent in the field of queer fabulism. Bodily autonomy and transformation, the importance of negative emotions, unhealthy relationships, and bad situations amidst the staggering and urgent question of how build and nurture meaning, love, and safety in a larger world/society that might not be "fixable.""--… (more)

Extremely extremely good. Reminiscent of Kelly Link and Jeanne Thornton in particular, with a surprising amount of stylistic and formal flexibility. Particular favorites are the title story, " Self Care" and "As Tender Feet of Cretan Girls Once Danced Around An Altar of Love." (Not insignificantly, they are the ones I am most jealous to not have written.) (

"Throughout, Jarboe melds tenderness, humor, and righteous anger into insightful tales of characters navigating the margins of society. Readers are sure to be blown away."

Epigraph

Realising that I have nothing left to lose in my actions I let my hands become weapons, my teeth become weapons, every bone and muscle and fiber and ounce of blood become weapons, and I feel prepared for the rest of my life. - David Wonjnarownicz, Close to the Knives: A Memoir of Disintergration
