Monsters

In her hybrid memoir and essay, Alison Croggon examines the concept of monstrosity through a personal lens, reflecting on her experiences and the broader influence of colonialism and patriarchy. Using the painful breakup of her relationship with her sister as a starting point, she explores how societal myths shape our identities and perceptions of others. The work invites readers to consider the fictions we sustain about ourselves and the potential costs and rewards of confronting those truths.
