Ă propos de ce livre
Mother is a one-woman play that tells the story of Christie, a homeless woman in a world detached, unforgiving and destructive. It gives voice to the fallen and dispossessed, to those who exist at the edge of safety, at the point of being undone. It speaks of madness, denial, ignorance and free-falling poverty. Utterly devastating, yet written with Daniel Keene's characteristic lyricism, Mother is wrought with tenderness, violence and loneliness in equal measure.

I donât know I said how many times
you promised you wouldnât he said
I know I did I said

Iâm not addled I said Iâm as good as gold
funny he said youâre funny
Iâm not trying to be I said
I was often funny when I wasnât trying to be as far as Lenny was concerned
you donât know whatâs funny and whatâs not he said
I know more than you think I know I said
thatâs not much then he said you know next to nothing
next to nothing is not nothing I said itâs something
and you donât know what it is I said
I donât want to know what it is he said
you do I said I can tell you want to know
no I donât he said I donât want to know nothing about you
then whyâd you marry me I asked him
because I was lonely he said
I was lonely too I said
so thatâs what happened and weâre not lonely anymore are we I said
he just looked at me with that look heâd get now and then

I thought he was fractious Lenny said
you donât even know what it means I said

it was from Mrs Kennedy that I got the drink

she was as mad as a budgie
