Faced with what appears to be an apocryphal manuscript containing ten books and 91 chapters, Eve decides to tell her version of the story of Genesis: she was not created from Adam's rib, nor is it correct that she was expelled for taking the apple from the serpent; the story of Abel and Cain isn\u0026amp;#x27;t true, neither are those of the Flood and the Tower of Babel...\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn brilliant prose, Carmen Boullosa offers a twist on the Book of Genesis that dismantles patriarchy and rebuilds our understanding of the world - from the origin of gastronomy, to the domestication of animals, to the cultivation of land and pleasure - all through the feminine gaze. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBased on this exploration, at times both joyful and painful,\u003ci\u003e The Book of Eve \u003c\/i\u003etakes a tour through the stories we've been told since childhood, which have helped to foster (and cement) the absurd idea that woman is the companion, complement, and even accessory to man, opening the door to criminal violence against women.
