Stricture

Isabel Nicou

Amphetamine Sulphate, TX. 2022. First edition. Some light yellowing to front and rear cover. Very good.

From the publisher:

"IA dizzying, kaleidoscopic work of filial obligation, literary mentorship and childhood dreams of alien abduction.

"In Harry’s suburban house, cluttered with books and stacks of papers, time was bending in an elliptical orb that never failed to constrain me during the few months broken by vacations and interruptions—several, for Harry was often invited abroad—where I went once a week to, as my famous mentor put it, “assist” him."

This is an excellent work from Nicou. It is quite hard to pin down, as it should be. A murky narrative around mentorship and obligation laden with introspective asides. Highly recommended.
