Sobre IBD

THRIFTWOOD is a mixture of personal memoir and cultural and literary criticism, which explores the ideas of the liminal, changing place and liminal, changing body as related. As a scout, Alice Wickenden’s personal experiences of growing up and developing both sexual and nonsexual relationships were all seen through the mirror of camping. A vital and engaging text, THRIFTWOOD provides a starting point for jumping off and thinking about puberty, while also incorporating thoughts on a wide variety of things such as Shakespeare, The Vaccines, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and fairy tales.
