  1. 1. Appendix Project

    A spare, fragmentary meditation that treats the appendix—both organ and literary afterword—as a site of failure, excess, and survival; through clinical detail, confessional fragments, lists and aphoristic bursts, the narrator maps acute pain, recovery, and obsessive attention to symptoms onto broader cultural and feminist questions, using illness as a lens to probe desire, shame, voice, and the compulsion to write.
