Description
Fiction. In these short short stories, Roberta Allen shadows images of deepening loss and confusion as memory overtakes a fleeing expatriate. No matter where you run, you can't hide from yourself. "Snapshots of the ineffable. In disquieting landscapes often distorted by the gaze of the other, Roberta Allen manages to tell with the language of subtlety the most poignant of stories"—Luisa Valenzuela.
