A literal dislocation: the protagonist moves house, her daughter leaves home; and at the same time, a metaphorical one: climacteric and menopause as metamorphosis or relocation, where the body changes and no longer recognizes itself in the mirror.

A new relationship with the body emerges, a sexuality where clichés and prejudices inherited from generation to generation are hidden… and an insistent question: how to inhabit old age without losing one’s identity.

A Diary Of A Dislocation explores this stage of transition marked by constant questions and the search for new ways of naming oneself. Inés Garland constructs an intimate narrative with flashes of humor and irony as she explores ways of coping with this new stage.
