Fourteen Ways of Looking
Erin Vincent
Upswell, $32.99
March 3
Erin Vincent was 14 when her mother and father were hit by a truck while trying to cross a freeway. In this frankly brilliant, imaginative reflection on her grief (https://upswellpublishing.com/product/fourteen-ways-of-looking) at losing her mother − her feelings are more ambivalent about her father − she uses the number 14 as a Perec-like structure through which to interrogate that grief. At one point, she asks the world plaintively: “When does grief end?” The answer is, of course, it doesn’t, but you suspect that through her incisive, analytical, personal and deeply moving work, Vincent goes a long way towards assuaging it somewhat.
