A story about potential dimensions, abortion, and the blurry appearing and disappearing of matter.

"If I am infinite, if my body can produce other bodies and so on, and so on, where do I end? How do I move? How do I touch myself? How do I hug and comfort myself? It almost felt alien.

In the fall of 2018, I became pregnant and about seven weeks later, I had an abortion surgery. This is about the transformation that happened, and which continued."

Magdalena Jadwiga Härtelova’s intimate thoughts following their abortion surgery invite us into a deeply personal experience beyond debate. Through an honesty only possible in poetry, they tell a story that defies the separation between mind and body, self and others, past and future, objectivity and experience, physics and transcendence.

About — Sabotage L.A. publishing was established in Berlin in 2021. s.L.A.p. books start as direct interventions into the political reality of our own social circle: How could we, our friends and their friends (and beyond) live together differently, here and now? s.L.A.p. itself is an attempt to make books for a world in which ideas cannot be created, owned or sold by any individual or institution: Creative commons licensing allows anyone to freely copy, edit, translate or remix our publications for non-comercial use. We give out digital copies to anyone who cannot afford the material book.
