The blindfold

Front Cover
28 Reviews
Poseidon Press, 1992 - Fiction - 221 pages
A graduate student, Iris Vegan, lives alone and impoverished in New York City. In the course of the novel, she encounters four strong characters, each of whom fascinates and in some way subordinates her to alter the shape of her identity. Fiercely original, The Blindfold addresses the artificiality and mutability of identity in a way uniquely illuminated by its female perspective.
