Composed in brief paragraphs and structured as a series of vignettes, pieces of fiction and autobiography, The Late Work of Margaret Kroftis creates a world in which a woman's life is refracted through dreamlike logic. Margaret Kroftis is a writer, living alone. As she experiences a personal tragedy, the narrative moves forward in an emotionally coherent manner that exists separately from linear time. A groundbreaking debut from a truly talented new writer.
