Black and blue
de Carol Mavor
Audacious and genre-defying, 'Black and Blue' is steeped in melancholy, in the feeling of being blue, or, rather, black and blue, with all the literality of bruised flesh. Mavor's mother lost her memory to Alzheimer's, and this book is framed by the author's memories of her mother and effort to understand what it means to not be recognized by one to whom you were once so known.
