Bhanu Kapil bathhouse reading

I enjoyed Kapil's reading of her book Humanimal: A Project for Future children. The selections that she read from were well coordinated and had a wide verity from the work. I noticed a few similarities between the work she read an Incubation: A space for monsters. She used the colors is both books especially the color red as a reference to blood. She also talked to both books about being 'different and escaping to a place that should be more excepting but some times is not. In Humanimal she talks about the wolf girls escaping to to the woods only to be caught again, like the hitchhiker to Incubation getting rape again and again.

I liked Humanimal better than her other book.I feel like. this book was earlier to relate to and imagine the locations where the book took place. The language did not seen as jumbled in this book as it did in her other book.The colors and moods in the book seemed to be more drastic and vivid, it was easier to imagine in your head as something that would happen more that an author writing to an unknown reader beside the reader themselves. I also enjoyed the references to film production and how this effected the wolf girls. The best section that I could not relate too was the part in the beginning when she first got off her plane to India how it felt like home and her sense of belonging to the country, even though she had never been to India before.
