ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Secuestro pulmonar is an autobiography of the body: a meditation on pain and healing.
After undergoing a major surgery in 2023, caused by a congenital “pulmonary sequestration,” Ana Teresa Toro reflects on survival and the fragile architecture of the body and the self.
Moving between memoir and essay, the book explores what it means to relearn how to breathe, to wake after brushing death, and to inhabit a scarred body that not only feels, but thinks.
The intersection of a rare medical condition with broader reflections on embodiment, vulnerability, and sensation creates richly poetic and intimate text by one of the leading journalists and writers of today’s Puerto Rico.
➜ Echoing the themes of In the Dream House and Her Body and Other Parties by Carmen Maria Machado.
