Synopsis: | McLean's first-person narrative unfolds in a dead-end town, where she becomes best friends with Parisa, attracted by the unfamiliar exotica of her Asian extraction. Both born on Hallowe'en a minute apart, they become best friends like no others, the light and shade of an awfully big adventure. A lifetime on, and McLean's survivor is having kaleidoscopic dreams about death and the life they used to have. | |||||

Synopsis: | Keeping it together when disaster strikes isn't easy. The quartet thrown together by a flood of biblical proportions in this new work survive via a variety of self-protective strategies. Order is the key for the prim-and-proper mother figure, who walls herself in with a neatly structured array of empty tin cans. water bottles and blind faith in suburban mores that reveal the neuroses behind the smile. A little girl is dazzled by the stories told to her by one of the men, who looks to the stars for comfort. The father figure, meanwhile, has constructed a vacuum-packed world that he'd happily stay in for ever, if only the last of the canned rations hadn't just been wolfed down. | |||||
