The story unfolds with no adherence to traditional chronology, and instead becomes a series of impressions: interiors, weather, gestures, fragments of adult life glimpsed from below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"489\" data-end=\"825\"\u003eThe book sits in that space between memoir and fiction, where memory is selective and unstable, and where “home” becomes something assembled after the fact. Not formally experimental, but attentive and controlled in a way that rewards slower reading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"489\" data-end=\"825\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGiramondo paperback, 2008 (first edition).
