By Xiaoda Xiao
Solitary confinement for nine months has its effects on an individual that stretch outside of the prison walls and beyond that deprived space. In this book, Xiao explores the complexity of gaining your freedom from imprisonment with the necessary illusion that you are putting that part of your life behind you. But is that possible? Can we ever free ourselves of what we have experienced in the past or do our experiences sometimes haunt us, propelling their painful reminders into the future? What of the dreams that willed one through the experience of imprisonment and isolation? Even they can be questioned or more confounding, simply dissolved in the day to day realities of existence.
