Glass
(eBook)
Asked by a publisher to write a preface to her late husband's novel, Edna defiantly sets out to write a separate book "not just about Clarence but also about my life, as one could not pretend to understand Clarence without that." Simultaneously her neighbor asks her to care for an apartment full of plants and animals. The demands of the living things--a rat, fish, ferns--compete for Edna's attention with long-repressed memories. Day by day pages of seemingly random thoughts fall from her typewriter. Gradually taking shape within the mosaic of memory is the story of a remarkable marriage and of a mind pushed to its limits. Is Edna's memoir a homage to her late husband or an act of belated revenge? Was she the cultured and hypersensitive victim of a crass and brutally ambitious husband, or was he the caretaker of a neurotic and delusional wife? The reader must decide. The unforgettable characters in Savage's two hit novels Firmin and The Cry of the Sloth garnered critical acclaim, selling a million copies worldwide. In Edna, once again Sam Savage has created a character marked by contradiction--simultaneously appealing and exasperating, comical and tragic.
