| Summary: | A lyric novel about the play of grief, empathy, new and old love, and the quest to overcome blindness in human relations. Caught in the cross-currents of a fraught divorce and a new love, the death of her mother and a global pandemic, a writer plunges into an obsession with the work of 1960s French philosopher Roland Barthes. Her struggles to make sense of his work and life-and of what can happen to a woman's settled life in a single harrowing year-result in an engrossing, funny, earthy and innovative lyric work. The quest for authenticity in motherhood, sexuality and tenancy on the earth and in the home, as well as the unusual lyric form, make the novel unified in spirit yet transdisciplinary in approach. |
