Flickering
This is a book about change, a renegotiating of self and the world. In early childhood we separate self from the world; there are two identities now. Either through ageing, trauma or insight we seek to renegotiate this boundary to be more connected and loving. This book is a quirky at times comic testimony to that creative transformation.
The Boundary Waters: A Quantum Opera Kindle Edition
The Boundary Waters chronicles the unfolding and sometimes comic relationship between Raymona Washington Goldberg and Matthew Pierson. Raymona is an African American woman adopted as an infant by Jewish father and a German Catholic mother during a Freedom Ride in the 1960’s. She spends her time barricaded in her Upper East Side rent controlled apartment in New York City, afraid to be contaminated by the stories lurking in the most common circumstances. Matthew is a gay man who geographically lives in Minneapolis but psychically inhabits a world of romantic fantasies. Matthew distracts himself by recounting romantic stories in which he becomes entangled. Their phone conversations provide a hygienic boundary through which Raymona experiences the world and Matthew has an audience.
