Synopsis
Confined in some kind of pill box, the unnamed protagonist of Redoubt lives on an undeclared desert frontier. As a sentry? As a meteorologist assigned to take readings of the weather, of the encroachment of the dunes? And the leg irons, fastened everyday at dawn, restraint? Or umbilicus in the womb? Does the child unborn see the act resulting in its birth? And what is the first moment like, unshaped by male or femaleness? And how will that moment some day be remembered? In her meditation on gender Cecile Pineda has crafted a Book of Kell that will make you think and wonder for many years to come.
