2 posts | 1 read
A daughter tries to explain to her mother why calling the police isn't always a good idea. A caretaking group of sisters must rely on each other, but one has a fierce drinking problem. A mother confronts the frightening environmental damage of the world in which her child must grow old. In these sixteen stories, Martha Wilson provides a powerful look at the intersection of politics and daily life in our contemporary world, showing us the banal and gritty connections that lie there.

Mehso-so

‪It happens that I read this book while visiting family in Ontario, so perhaps it‘s not surprising that where this collection works best for me is in its depictions of Canadian towns, ordinary family life, and things unsaid between people in close relation.‬ Where it missed me was when it felt like the stories were trying to make a point, a few of which stories felt a bit more like essays. So, a bit hit or miss for me, but overall I enjoyed it.
