My Clavicle:

And Other Massive Misalignments

A daring, physical, addictive work of auto-fiction from award-winning Spanish writer Marta Sanz, translated into English for the first time.

‘I’m going to tell you what happened to me and what didn’t happen to me. The possibility that nothing happened to me is what's giving me the shakes.’

Marta believes she is dying. With the onset of menopause, the changes to her body are stirring up new anxieties. Every time she feels a pain in her chest, a numbness in her arm, or a tension in her clavicle, she assumes she has cancer, or some other diagnosis she has yet to learn of.

During a flight, she starts to experience a pain underneath her rib. Unsure whether the pain signals the ominous approach of death or a simple bout of flatulence, Marta descends into an examination of pain’s impact upon her life. Is her body failing her or is she failing her body?

From one of Spain’s most widely read and acclaimed authors, My Clavicle And Other Massive Misalignments is a provocative and vulnerable semi-autobiographical novel rendering a memorable portrait of pain, health anxiety and menopause.
