An engagement with the work of stream-of-consciousness modernist Virginia Woolf, which also references Gertrude Stein and Anne Carson, this collection is more about narrative flows than form. Surprisingly accessible, even to non-English majors, Sina Queyras asks subtle yet disquieting questions about identity and femininity, while listening and recording powerful impressions: “Oh, she said, you’re from Canada? I’m so sorry.”
