Naming the Body

Robin Myers beautiful translation of “Nombrar el cuerpo” is ready for publication and is looking for an EDITOR or LITERARY AGENT.

“It is an honor to submit for your consideration the translation into English by Robin Myers of my latest book, Nombrar el cuerpo (Editorial Egales/Spain; El BeiSmAn PrESs/Chicago; 2022), named among the best Queer Lit of the year in Spain.

Naming the Body: A Queer Woman’s Restorative Mapping of the Self is an attempt to celebrate and reclaim a queer woman’s uprooted, mothering, ailing body and an erased identity through memory and language. This collection of sixteen units of text is written with unequivocal honesty, complete disregard to form or expectations, and only one goal in mind: to give voice to a silenced body. The result is literary patchwork, storytelling under the stars, a cry, a riddle, a manifesto, even a road map for the future!

​With Naming the Body you would champion contemporary hybrid memoir in translation with a book that places the body at the center of so many realities through a unique, interrogative, and entertaining reading experience.”
