    drown is a novella about an alternately suffocating/liberating friendship between two young women, Cassandra and Aurelia. They have just reached 18, and are struggling with their bonds to each other, to their own identities, and to the place they are in: a suburb outside of Los Angeles, California. These landscapes are exlplored through language, dance, and dream.
