Immersion by Mary Mackey (English) Paperback Book

Description: Immersion by Mary Mackey Isolated in a remote field station in a tropical rainforest in the late 1960s, a young woman named Kirsten wages a desperate struggle for intellectual, spiritual, personal, and sexual liberation from her biologist husband who views her as a piece of property and the creatures of the rainforest as specimens to be killed and catalogued. The result of this tangle of adultery and relentless tropical heat leads to murder, but of an unexpected victim. First published in 1972 by Alta Gerrys legendary Shameless Hussy Press, Immersion was a ground-breaking novel written in a style simultaneously cinematic, poetic, and hallucinatory.

Beautiful even in tragedy." -Coral Russell, Alchemy of Scrawl FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Isolated in a remote field station in a tropical rainforest in the late 1960s, a young woman named Kirsten wages a desperate struggle for intellectual, spiritual, personal, and sexual liberation from her biologist husband who views her as a piece of property and the creatures of the rainforest as specimens to be killed and catalogued.
