Literature and Fiction Literary
In the near future, a young woman finds her
mother’s body starfished on the kitchen floor in
Queens and sets on a journey through language, archives,
artificial intelligence, and TV for a way back into herself.
She begins to translate an old manuscript about a group of
female medical students—living through a drought and
at the edge of the war—as they create a new way of
existence to help the people around them. In the process,
the translator’s life and the manuscript begin to
become entangled.
Along the way, the arrival of a
childhood friend, a stranger, and an unusual AI project will
force her to question her own moral compass and sense of
goodness. How involved are we in the suffering of others?
What does real compassion look like? How do you make a
better world?
