Part I: A Mystory Performance
Chapter
Abstract
She is 94. I am 14. My maternal great-grand mother. She has Parkinson’s disease. The tremors are ferocious. The end is near. We meet for the first time. The year is 1988. She cautions my mother, “The girl is dark, the son, your boy is fair, it will be difficult to get her married.” I glare at her. I ask mother, “Who will marry me?” Amma waves her hand at me. Dismissing her? Dismissing me?
