Along with Esti, we find ourselves trapped in his paranoia and desperation as we accompany the odd pair down Israel's highways on a journey that reveals a passion perverted by jealousy and self-loathing. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn the title story, a successful but embittered novelist visits her mother, who is in the last stages of cancer. Grossman investigates the powers of storytelling to harm and heal as the daughter reads aloud her own imagined, merciless account of her mother's love affair with a much younger teenage boy. Gradually it becomes clear that, for all its anger, the daughter's story and the writing process itself have led her to a new appreciation of her mother's difficult character, and her own. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eStudies in obsession, claustrophobia, and the need to confess, these two novellas mark a new departure from a writer who has been, for nearly two decades, the one of the most original and talented ... anywhere.
