More akin to an elaborate dance than to a book. Readers must be willing to follow Mattia's verbose, yet beautifully crafted narrative carefully, lest they fall behind her tempo and trip face first onto the page. A blend of memoir, poetry, and mythology, The Fifth Wound is a stunning piece that explores love, beauty, and trans embodiment.
