FLICKER IN THE PORTHOLE GLASS

By Edward Desautels

Fiction. Jack Ruineux, projectionist at a run-down movie theater in Philadelphia, struggles to reconcile Hollywood imagery with his dreary quotidian existence. Alienated from his family, haunted by dark memories of his youth, Ruineux casts himself into an inner world where history, myth, memory, and nostalgia blend in whims of self-reinvention. His concerned lover attempts an emphatic understanding, and seeks to "fill in the gaps" of his broken narrative in order to make whole a Ruineux with whom she can enjoy a profound connection.
