Immersion

Set in a tropical rainforest during the late 1960s, the story follows Kirsten, a young woman trapped in a stifling marriage with a biologist who objectifies both her and the natural world. As she seeks liberation from his oppressive views, a complex web of emotional turmoil and desire unfolds, culminating in an unexpected murder. First published in 1972, this groundbreaking novel is noted for its cinematic, poetic, and hallucinatory writing style, reflecting the intense heat of both the environment and Kirsten's struggles.
