| Description: |
These two novels explore the themes of physical and emotional exile and "between-ness". In the first, the narrator writes to her sister, trying to come to terms with her ancestry and with what her parents did in Nazi Germany. The second is set in Mexico City and explores a web of disparate ideas. |
| Synopsis: |
These two novels explore the themes of physical and emotional exile and "between-ness." In The Hanky of Pippen's Daughter, a German woman tries to come to terms with her ancestry. What did her parents, two "ordinary people" in Nazi Germany, really stand for? How does their bad marriage resonate in the lives of their daughters? Can we really know the past or its place in our lives? Written as an epic collage, A Form/of Taking/It All measures the subjective experience of the narrator against the historic, scientific, and political discourses that control her personal experiences. |
