The novel leaps from memories of childhood, gender identity formation, and political revelation to the inherited memory and historical movements of Ezra's family. This book explores how historical memory shapes our political and emotional present as it exists at the intersections of protest, religion, and desire.

You Are the Snake offers a glimpse into the lives of characters who straddle the line between conformity and rebellion.

The characters crafted by Juliet Escoria are complex—they either strive to meet society's expectations or defiantly turn away from them. These stories exploit the short story form, showcasing Escoria's unique voice that challenges conventional storytelling and resists the temptation for simple moral lessons.

Exploring themes such as girlhood and the transition into womanhood, Escoria does not shy away from the peculiar, the impulsive, and the desires that drive us. Each narrative is set in its own distinct environment, from the suburbs of California to the mountains of West Virginia, and together they form a tapestry that expands and defies preconceived notions of what women are capable of writing and being.

Juliet Escoria's prose has been lauded for its vividness and honesty, and You Are the Snake continues to deliver with its charged and eloquent storytelling. The maturity and style of the short story format are a perfect vessel for Escoria's electric narrative energy.

Cecilia is a surreal novella that delves deep into the intensity and eroticism of girlhood friendships, the ecstasy of desire and disgust, and matriarchal mythmaking. The story unfolds with Seven, who works as a cleaner at a chiropractor's office, reencountering Cecilia, a woman who has captivated her since their school days. As they coincidentally board the same bus, with each claiming not to be following the other, their chance meeting spurs a series of intensely vivid and corporeal memories.

In the midst of this defamiliarization, the narrator begins to see queerness itself as an alienation from normative time. Smart, subversive, and gripping, Cecilia takes readers on a winding, misty road trip through bodily transformation, inextricable histories of desire and violence, diaspora, and obsessive love.
