THE PART OF ME
by Kyle A. Smith
In The Part of Me, Diana, a pansexual bipolar woman, breaks up with her girlfriend, embarking on a search for a new partner, a search made more difficult by her budding mental illness. This expressionist tale is a comic exploration of mental illness and sexuality through the lens of a woman who, while looking for the perfect partner, finds herself.
