Description

At the opening of My Happy Life, the unnamed narrator has been abandoned in a locked room of a deserted mental hospital. She hasn't seen the nice man who brings her food in days; so she's eaten the soap, the toothpaste, and even tried to eat the plaster on her walls - a dietary adventure that ended none too well. This woman's story, covering decades and spanning continents, is tragic, yet she is curiously at peace, even happy. Despite a lifetime of neglect, physical abuse, and loss, she's incapable of perceiving slight or injury. She has infinite faith in the goodwill of others, loves even her.;One; Box; Foot; Towel; Tooth; Two; Ear; Leaf; Reeds; Pod; Three; Hair; Pencils; Dollar; Blue Oval; Four; Bracelet; Shoes; Knees; Air; About the Author.
