These two novels explore the themes of physical and emotional exile and between-ness. In The Hanky of Pippen's Daughter, a German woman tries to come to terms with her ancestry. What did her parents, two ordinary people in Nazi Germany, really stand for? How does their bad marriage resonate in the lives of their daughters? Can we really know the past or its place in our lives?Written as an epic collage, A Form/of Taking/It All measures the subjective experience of the narrator against the historic, scientific, and political discourses that control her personal experiences.
