Description
For decades, I wandered through life unmoored by any true identity. A walking dissonance. A standard deviation. Present, but absent. They call me rational, witty, assertive, sometimes even too direct... I look like you. Sound like you. Move like you. Speak your language.
But I'm not like you. I never was.
In her rare, colorful, unapologetically raw voice, neurodivergent author Michal Edelsburg shares a deep dive into the inner narrative of an undiagnosed autistic woman -- inexplicably intricate on the inside, but completely invisible to the outside world.
Octopus Mimicus exposes decades of living between worlds, of a woman with a different mind hiding in plain sight, trying her best to blend into a world that was not meant to accommodate her. Full of razor-sharp (and oftentimes blunt) insight and humor, Edelsburg's literary journey challenges both taboos and stereotypes while tackling everything from family to sexuality, love, and womanhood (sometimes all at once!), in what can only be described as a bold, unclassified, and certainly memorable debut.
