A formally unusual work about an unnamed woman living alone near a coastal town.

Notes and Misconceptions

The lazy description is plotless.

A better description: its plot is attention, with drama happening in syntax, objects, appetite, irritation, and private thought.

Best Path

Consciousness, solitude, voice

Reading Paths

  • Form Risk, Consciousness, and Strange Architecture
