Two men come to terms with loss — in an open, honest confrontation of memory and grief.

And then one day it is no longer an event, it is another duration, compressed, insignificant, not narrated, grim, without recourse: true mourning not susceptible to any narrative dialectic.”

“How strange: her voice which I knew so well, and which is said to be the very texture of memory (‘the dear inflection…’). I no longer hear. Like a localized deafness..”
