Litio per Medea, di Kate Braverman

Abstract

Rose is the daughter of a narcissistic, emotionally crippled mother and a father who shadowboxes with death in hospital corridors. She slips deeply and dangerously into the lair of a cocaine-fed artist in the bohemian squalor of Venice. Lithium for Medea sears us with Rose's breathless, fierce, visceral flight—like a drug that leaves one's perceptions forever altered.
