Readers of earlier volumes - \u003ci\u003eHemlock\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eHyperdream\u003c\/i\u003e, among others - will reconnect with familiar characters: Eve, the elderly mother now in her hundredth year, Hélène, the daughter, who never expected to become a mother at 70, and the brother, childhood companion and rival. She has almost no time to write.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \"You hate me! You hate me!\" someone shouts. \"You want me dead!\" Is that a revolver on the table? Bang! Shot or door slammed?

It is a tale on the scale of Greek myth, about the inescapable entanglements of family relationships, that can lead one, in hyperbolic mode, to envision murder and suicide, for, as Cixous writes, \"with love's force one hates.\" And yet, \"everything twists and turns\": this is a tale with profoundly touching reversals.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eAuthor’s Foreword\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Part One\u003cbr\u003e O.
