description: Plucked from her life on the streets of post-apocalyptic Santo Domingo young maid Acilde Figueroa finds herself at the heart of a Santera prophecy: only she can travel back in time and save the ocean  and humanity  from disaster. But first she must become the man she always was  with the help of a sacred anemone. Tentacle is an electric novel with a big appetite and a brave vision plunging headfirst into questions of climate change technology Yoruba ritual queer politics poverty sex colonialism and contemporary art. Bursting with punk energy and lyricism its a restless addictive trip: The Tempest meets the telenovela.
