Bursting with punk energy and lyricism, it's a restless, addictive trip: The Tempest meets the telenovela.Ībout the Author: Born and raised in the Dominican Republic and now living in Puerto Rico, Rita Indiana is a driving force in contemporary Caribbean literature and music. Tentacle is an electric novel with a big appetite and a brave vision, plunging headfirst into questions of climate change, technology, Yoruba ritual, queer politics, poverty, sex, colonialism and contemporary art. But first she must become the man she always was - with the help of a sacred anemone. Plucked from her life on the streets of post-apocalyptic Santo Domingo, young maid Acilde Figueroa finds herself at the heart of a Santerìa prophecy: only she can travel back in time and save the ocean - and humanity - from disaster. ![]() Longlisted for the 2020 Best Translated Book Award Winner of the 2017 Grand Prize of the Association of Caribbean Writers Aircraft & Spacecraft: General Interest.Ships, Boats & Waterways: General Interest.Road & Motor Vehicles: General Interest.Fishing, Field Sports & Outdoor Activities.Sports Studies & PE: Textbooks & Study Guides.Literary Studies: Textbooks & Study Guides.Anthologies, Essays, Letters & Miscellaneous.Inventions & Technology: General Interest.Environment & Ecology: General Interest.Popular Culture & Media: General Interest.Politics & Government: Textbooks & Study Guides. ![]()
