(in 100 words or less)
Echoes of David Markson who everyone seems to have forgotten
when praising how stylistically original and unprecedented this novel is. A
fractured life told in fragments and factoids, bite-sized narrative nuggets
many no more than a few sentences in length. No sustained attention required.
The story: a woman dissatisfied with her life, marriage, and motherhood reflects
on the why of this dissatisfaction. Then the unthinkable happens: her husband
has an affair. Now the fragments begin to come unglued—and so does her sanity.
Can she piece her life back together? The accumulation of details reaches a dangerous
tipping point. Powerful.
