The Uncle and Other Stories - Softcover
In \"The Uncle,\" the last taboo of our culture, incest, is chronicled with superlative sensitivity as Anna, who is at once child of eleven and middle-aged woman, struggles to graft new integument on to the flayed body of her persona. The pathology of passivity is surgically laid bare as the original scourge --- the flesh and blood male provocateur --- becomes a psychic succubus thwarting all attempts at self-integration. Through telescopic time shifts and contrapuntal harmonies of past and present, realities that shimmer and melt into evanescence, Joan Shaw illuminates the once-dark corners of our experience.
