Bruja is a series of dreams written between 20, only separated by the months in which they occur and the space on the page between each dream. The book reveals as much about the reader’s psyche, about the self and the readers’ reaction to reading it, as it does about the author- this deeply personal thing, a dream, so full of symbols we imbue with our own shared and cultural meanings. I wanted to recreate the structure of those dreams, as if my mind was somehow trying to create its own narrative out of each dream I read. Throughout the book I found myself wanting to index the people, recurring themes, events, and places. ![]() Once I cracked open that first page I became obsessed. I had no idea what to expect from a dreamoir- I’d never heard of or read one- until Bruja. ![]() Ortiz’s work through her memoir, Excavation, a dizzying experience of a five-year long relationship during her teenage years with a teacher who was fifteen years her senior, and then through her poetry. ![]()

It's an eventful trip, full of sexual longing, comedy, tragedy and mistaken and changing identities. The story moves from small-town Vermont in the late '50s to San Francisco and New York in the AIDS-ravaged '80s to the diversity-friendly 21st century. Narrated by bisexual novelist Billy Abbott, "In One Person" concerns itself with the interstitial, the places between poles. Which, given its subject matter, is just as it should be. Sometimes the formula yields magic: "The World According to Garp" or "A Prayer for Owen Meany." Sometimes a mess: "The Fourth Hand." And sometimes it delivers a puzzling, not-quite-one-thing, not-quite-the-other literary enterprise like "In One Person," Irving's 13th novel. That's unfairly reductive, but not intended as a put-down. ![]() Perhaps some mutilation, genital or otherwise.
