Stranger
Autor Laura Simsen Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 mar 2009
A mother's illness and death is only the beginning of the story of STRANGER. This is a death whose presence and particulars are inscribed. We feel from all angles, as Sims's quicksilver narrative moves through a mother's life and its incompletion, apprehension of death, and the adult child's attempts at comprehension. In the end is a hopeful hopelessness approaching Eternity.

Descriere
"Sims enters the territory of the irreconcilable, where the intimacy that lies deepest in us... remains event or entity."
