Aprašymas

These graceful, probing personal essays by award-winning fiction writer Dora Dueck engage with a diverse range of ideas (becoming a writer, motherhood, mortality, the ethics of biography, a child's coming-out) because in non-fiction, she writes, ""the quest for meaning bows to the experience as it was."" Yet within Return Stroke, one theme in particular does resonate--change. ""How wonderful,"" the author writes, that our ""bits of existence, no matter how ordinary, are available for further consideration--seeing patterns, facing into inevitable death, enjoying the playful circularity of then and now."" The book's title, Return Stroke--the title of one essay, where it literally refers to lightning--suggests such a dynamic: ""When I send inquiry into my past, it sends something back to me."" The topic of memory, in all its malleability, impermanence, and surprising power, is especially central to the collection's concluding piece, an absorbing memoir of the author's 1980s life in the Paraguayan Chaco. Whether she is discovering the more meaningful part that imagination holds within her religious faith or relating with astonishing clarity and honesty the experience of giving birth away from her home country, Dora Dueck's beautifully written essays and memoir make her an insightful and generous companion.
