Kinesiophobia (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798986309811)

Hailed as "stunning" and "genre-bending" and praised for its "jewel-like imagery" and "revelatory through-line," this striking debut traces family history, from the distant past of the Acadian expulsion to Hurricane Katrina and beyond, to explore why parallel tragedies happen across centuries. Through sharp, obsessive snapshots of key inflection points - the sinking of the Duke Williams, the breaking of the levees, the diagnosis of a tumor - Guidry turns her family's history into a dazzling mythology to explore how distant events shape our lives and what it means to heal from trauma in the face of incomprehensible loss.
