Say This: Two Novellas Levine Elise
It's a cold spring in Baltimore, 2018, when the email arrives: the celebrity journalist hopes Eva will tell him everything about the sexual affair she had as a teen with her older cousin, a man now in federal prison for murder. Following Eva's unsettling ambivalence towards her confusing relationship and constructing a portrait of her cousin's victim via collaged perspectives of the slain man's family, these two linked novellas borrow, interrogate, sometimes dismantle the tropes of true crime; lyrically render the experiences of grief and dissociation; and brilliantly mine the fault lines of power and consent, silence, justice, accountability, and class. Thirteen years earlier, Lenore-May answers the phone to the nightmare news that her son's body has been found near Mount Hood, and homicide is suspected.
