AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Snake Like Charms is a debut book that writhes in the reader's hand, lively and lovely. My pen underlined so many passages like a skin, black python stretching across the page. The book explores family and relationships, self and identity, culture and country through the snake motif and Joy's languid use of language.' (Introduction)

    'Not knowing how to start this editorial, I lazily google ‘belong’. A grossly simplified e-dictionary pops up to tell me that ‘belong’ comes from Middle English: ‘be-’ + an archaic form of ‘long’. But rather than investigate longen like the diligent researcher I should be, I am temporarily sidetracked; I think intensely about ‘being long’, consider stretching out on the ground, pointing my toes, elongating my spine, straightening my fingers. I think about being the longest me I can be.' (Jessica Wilkinson Editorial introduction)
