“Tilda is Visible” by Jane Tara
The narrative: about Tilda is Visible
Tilda is disappearing — literally. She’s been diagnosed with invisibility. Piece by piece, body part by body part, Tilda is starting to fade away. As she learns more about her diagnosis, Tilda meets other women with the same condition, but sadly, most have simply accepted there’s nothing more they can do about it. Eventually, they’ll disappear entirely. Tilda decides there must be another way — a way to recover… to reappear. But in order to do so, she’ll have to face past trauma and completely re-evaluate how she sees the world and sees herself in this world.
The nightcap
Two to choose from this time! Start your day with a strong flat white coffee like Jane does. Then, top off the day like Tilda with a whiskey sour (or anything whiskey in general). Here’s how to make a classic whiskey sour, courtesy of The Kitchn.
In the episode
Jane explains Tilda is Visible on her website as, “the book I always wanted to write, but first needed to live it.” When it finally came time to sit down it write, it took about seven (or so) years! In this episode of the podcast, Jane shares:
Her personal story of feeling invisible when she was 45
A misdiagnosed eye condition that had her “questioning what it means to see and how you see”
The scenes she most excited about for readers (and she loves hearing from her readers, too!)
