Sinopsis

A mother's illness and early death is only the beginning of the story of "Stranger", Laura Sims' second collection. This is a death whose presence and particulars are felt and inscribed, and which achieves an agency, a purview, a resistance. We feel the loss from all angles, even as Sims' episodic, quicksilver narrative moves up and through a mother's life and its incompletion, her apprehension in the face of death, a surviving child's guilt and the adult child's attempts at comprehension of who/what the mother is, now that she's gone. In the end there is a hopeful hopelessness in approaching Eternity. Laura Sims' delicacy and agility are equal to her forbearance, and all are up to the remarkable task of recounting a life and afterlife.
