Apparitions

By Margo Glantz

Two nuns, and one obsessed mother, doing everything in their power to achieve communion with the one they love.

Sister Lugarda de la Encarnaci n takes the lash, and an unnamed mother gets down on her hands and knees - sacramental postures demanded by inscrutable men. Apparitions is a novel of ecstasy pursued, desire transmogrified into devotion, and obedience as a passionately pursued, not entirely free choice. Erotic, and suffused with painting, music, art, it's an incantatory exploration of what it means to abandon the world, and to use your body - in pain, and in pleasure - as a way of finally coming to know the divine.
