Asexuality #763207

An unconventional novelette! What is “life”? How are large molecules formed against entropy? How do the flora and fauna evolve? Is the sexual act for reproduction or entertainment? Teresa, the heroine, breaks the bonds of dogma through explosive philosophy. She learns that physical science without spirituality cannot lead to the ultimate reality. No need for an intermediary to reach all-pervasive God. Ostracized from society again and again, Teresa, the biology teacher, curses the moment she ventured into the experiment. She cuts the basal parts of hydras under a dissection microscope and injects its extract mixed with rare orchid drugs in her own hip . . . to reproduce asexually! Is this true love of research? Is it a genuine experiment? Is it a setback to her hypocrisy? Filled with rich symbolism, Budding uses one woman’s journey to shed light on the experiences of the whole human race.
