Luna stands in a library of unwritten biographies, holding a transcript from 1960—a conversation between herself and a woman she barely remembers.

Some books are already written, their spines bearing her mother's name; others are blank, awaiting Luna's first breath. As she searches fo...

Luna lingers in the waiting room where the woman who looks like her mother sits at a typewriter, her hands deformed by decades of rewriting history.
