So appealing is her character, and so witty and seductive her narrative voice, we follow her hypnotically as she unloads the intellectual baggage of a lifetime in a series of irreverent mediations on everything from Brahmas to sex to Heidegger to Helen of Troy. And as she contemplates aspects of the trouble past that have brought her to her present state, so too will her drama become one of the few certifiably original fictions of our time.
