Confessions of an Empty Purse

Author:  S. McDonald

Publisher:  Frontenac House

Edition:  Print

Where I got the Book:  Strathcona High School Library


Publisher's summary: 


 In these street-wandering confessions, McDonald explores the injustices of gender, floating freely between the depths of narrative and the butterfly brevity of poetry.  Here is a text where bodies are mapped into memories, in turn mapped back onto bodies, a palimpsestic circulation that sometimes storytells, sometimes startles, and always spills its truth, a purse overturned on a page.    Ashok Mathur
