Neighbourhoods of New York, of Brooklyn Heights, and a larger uncertain and disturbing America of the 1960s, this fable of a man's obsession revisits people as clues while at the centre, with deceptive scope, his temporarily estranged wife's voice gathers and regathers what it is that he and she and their child have curiously going for them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAll these unfolding circles of understanding are in a mixed language distinctly American, by turns satirical, lyrical, eccentric, and even a solvent at times, simplifying the prevailingly urban as bucolic.
