Sifting through the daily acts of his grandmother's life - here, her minute preparations in the kitchen - Fitzgerald reframes and remembers his family's oral history with exacting emotional care and formal precision. Using a remorseless third-person narration, this is an elegiac tribute to the triumphs and failures of storytelling.
En examinant les gestes quotidiens de la vie de sa grand-mère - dans ce cas, des scènes de préparations à la cuisine - Fitzgerald reconceptualise et revit l'histoire de sa famille en apportant beaucoup de soins à la vérité des émotions et à la précision formelle. En utilisant la narration implacable d'un tiers, il s'agit là d'un hommage élégiaque aux triomphes et aux échecs de la narration.
