How to tell your story? 'I want to talk, ’ the Author says on page 1. The Narrator who has been assigned to assist her knows that what is needed now is permission. 'Go on, ’ says the Narrator – and a book is born. Weaving threads and following tangents, Tania Hershman’s debut novel, a hybrid 'fictional memoir-in-collage’, tells one story and many stories: how is it to be a woman moving happily alone through the world? Who are you if not in relation to others?
A woman walks through the cemetery, talking to the dead. A class of schoolgirls grapples with what anger is and might be. A baby is left by scientists in a forest. Someone claims to be your grandmother. As the Author writes her way into and through what she needs to say, the Narrator watches her develop and blossom and wonders what will happen when they reach the end. Go on.
