Axiomatic

How to speak of the searing, unpindownable power that the past – ours, our family`s, our culture`s – wields in the present? In five long sections, Maria Tumarkin`s `Axiomatic` tells true and intimate stories of a community dealing with the extended aftermath of a suicide, a grandmother`s quest to kidnap her grandson to keep him safe, one community lawyer`s battle inside and against the justice system, the effects of multi-generational trauma, and the history of the author`s longest friendship. In writing that is inventive, bold, and generous, `Axiomatic` is a brilliantly inventive exploration of the forces that shape our culture.
