Dreamy and precise, Recupera weaves an ever-widening web encompassing all forms of recovery. Gomis moves through an astonishing array of sources and ideas. Her writing is addressed to her sister and co-addict; but it’s the recovery of memory through this intense, direct address that forms the throughline of this compelling book. —Chris Kraus
