Mourning A Breast by Xi Xi

A candid, lyrical memoir of a woman facing breast cancer and mastectomy, tracking the physical and emotional aftermath as she mourns the lost breast and reconfigures her sense of identity and femininity; through precise, often wry observation of medical encounters, family dynamics, daily rituals, and memory, the narrative explores vulnerability, resilience, and how a bodily loss reshapes ordinary life and selfhood.
