'Imagine this. You're 50 years old. An only child, from a Jewish family. The people you thought of as your mother and father are dead.
Then, in the middle of the night you get a phone call from the other side of the planet telling you they've found your mother. Alive. Your real mother. Suddenly, you become the oldest of seven across two families. All your assumptions about yourself are swept away.
From Ground Zero, you begin a journey of rediscovery to reclaim your identity. But the truths you gather are relative, subjective. Like speculating on the nature of the universe from the perspective of one planet and then again from another.' (Publisher's blurb)
Notes
My Planets is a suite of works - a physical book; an enhanced eBook incorporating images, music, sound and video with spoken word and text, a film.
Dedication:
to Alexander, the father I knew too briefly,
to Leonard, the father I can only imagine,
to Eileen and Karen, who helped author my new world
and to the other members of my families who offered puzzle pieces for mediation and reinvention.
