From the winner of the 2022 Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz Prize: a fractal
exploration of a woman's grief as she moves through disjointed segments of time.
Divided Island is the story of a woman with a neurological disorder. The day she
goes in for the encephalogram that will lead to her diagnosis, she finds herself
splitting in two. One of the two women she becomes decides to travel to an
island to take her own life; the other remains behind. Scenes and images real
and imagined gradually coalesce into the story of a life told from a singular
location: a way of perceiving and describing the world, guided by cerebral
dysrhythmia. Written in scraps and fragmented chapters, Divided Island is a
nonlinear narrative best read as a poetic experience, in which the protagonist's
memories and dreams recompose the world and, in doing so, trouble the very
notion of the self.
This slim volume makes it abundantly clear why Daniela Tarazona belongs in the
company of other Sor Juana winne...
