Her teammates are her only friends. Her coach, her guiding light. If she swims well enough, she will be scouted, get a scholarship, go to a good school. Her parents will love her. Her coach will be kind to her. She will have a good life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut these are human concerns. The concerns of those confined to land. Ren grew up on stories of creatures of the deep, of the oceans and the rivers. Stories that called sailors to their doom. Stories that dragged them down and drowned them. Stories of the creature that she's always longed to become: a mermaid.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRen aches to be in the water. She dreams of the scent of chlorine - the feel of it on her skin.

No matter how much blood she has to spill.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the vein of \u003ci\u003eOur Wives Under the Sea \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eThe Vegetarian\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eChlorine \u003c\/i\u003eis a powerful, relevant tale of immigration, sapphic longing, and fierce, defiant becoming.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAutorenportrait\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eJade Song is an artist, art director, and writer.
