"I'm here to warn you, not reassure you," she announces at the book's outset. In a series of taut and urgent missives she attempts to set the record of her life straight, and in doing so, to be useful to others. Yet being useful is what landed her in jail. Empathy is her Achilles' heel. Her troubles seem to stem from an injured stranger named Eddie, and multiply when her charity extends from delivering meals to the elderly to working with the dying. No good deed of hers goes unpunished and the costs of her capacity for care are legion: one by one she is denied her livelihood, her health, and her freedom, but her voice continues resolutely, an act of friendship in itself. Bina is an unsettling, thought-provoking novel of formal inventiveness and moral and emotional complexity by a bold and talented writer"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Women $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Violence in men $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Truth $v Fiction. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Schofield, Anakana, 1971- $t Bina $d New York City : New York Review Books, [2021] $z 9781681375502 $w (DLC) 2020040788 941 $a 3 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010022018.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20210707011413.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20210602012700.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9D1A2980969D11EBB000DAFF5DECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
