A woman enters into a dialogue with her memory. Pills meant to offer a healing oblivion, insincerely affectionate nurses, a doctor who may be a savior, and Lisa who struggles in vain against her memories. The I, the you, the we intertwine in an identity whirl that calls up glimpses of the silhouette of a hard and glacial mother, a cherished and inaccessible farther, and a disappointing and unfaithful spouse.
Up until the final revelation, slices of an opaque and carnal life are revealed. The author’s precise and musical language brings Lisa and her ghosts to life in a hypnotic ballet in which everyone will hear a familiar tune.
