β¦ Synopsis
A provocative, feminist novel about a woman who persists in spite of the violence, injustice, and oppression that fills her world.
Bina is a woman whoβs had enough and isnβt afraid to say so. βIβm here to warn you, not reassure you,β she announces at the bookβs outset. In a series of taut, urgent missives she attempts to set the record of her life straight, and in doing so, to be useful to others. Yet being useful is what landed her in jail. Empathy is her Achillesβ heel. Her troubles seem to stem from an injured stranger named Eddie, and they multiply when her charity extends from delivering meals to the elderly to working with the dying. No good deed of hers goes unpunished and the costs of her capacity for care are legion, as one by one she is denied her livelihood, her health, and her freedom, but her voice continues resolutely, an act of friendship in itself. Bina is an unsettling, thought-provoking novel of formal inventiveness and moral and emotional complexity by a bold and talented writer.
