About the Novella:
Silk Flowers tells the story of a woman who contracts an inexplicable disorder. Her condition deepens the rift between herself and her partner, gradually eliminating her ability to work, speak, and function independently. The breakdown of her body is metonymous with the breakdown of less literal bodies: husband and wife, able and disabled, silent and silenced.
