"Part queer memoir and part poetic rumination, 'And the Walls Come Crumbling Down' lays bare the love, pain, and precarity experienced by those who must forge their own home. If home is not a building, what is it? If home is not a place, what is it? If home is not a person, what is it? 'And the Walls Come Crumbling Down' starts in the early 2000s. A young queer woman in Singapore is unable to find safety and refuge in her biological family or country of birth. But she insists on home. She insists on history. She refuses sanitized orderliness and linear perfection, choosing to build a life that embraces the mess and excess of human existence. Presented in radically vulnerable fragments through a hybrid of queer memoir and poetic rumination, De Rozario's book masterfully lays bare the love, pain, and precarity experienced by those who must forge their own home.This edition, out for the first time in North America, is updated with a new preface from the author." -- Publisher's description.
