Troubled Depths - Rose Petrohilos - Bog

Troubled Depths is a thought-provoking and insightful collection of short stories that explores the complexities of the human experience as seen through the lens of traditionally non-conforming genders. Dr. Rose Petrohilos' fluid approach identification and her focus on the subjective experience of each individual make this book a good choice for anyone interested in exploring the complexities of gender as it applies to us all on an emotional level. This book is meant to be a bit of an earth-shattering disruption in the force, and while it might not entirely accomplish this, it is guaranteed to leave you scratching your head and will leave you saying "Huh?!". Which, let's be honest, is pretty much what talking to the author in the real world would feel like as well. So perhaps the real audience for this book is just pretty much everyone who would like to be more confused, have less clarity and genuinely question reality a bit more than they currently do. The stories in this collection are funny, sad, scary and bizarre. They are written in a variety of styles and tones, andthe unifying theme, such as there is one, is that you are what you make of yourself and that you should have the courage to define your own identity. It's meant to make you think about the pain and joy related to gender, the challenges of discovering one's identity, and the complexities of human relationships.
