Produktbeschreibung
Mary and Blanche, two women grappling with mental instability and substance addiction, find themselves in a psychiatric institution. Their lives unfold in parallel narratives, converging in a unique psychological space where time and space are subject to their perception. Orchestrated by a young doctor named Jane, their shared psychodrama allows them to relive their past, with scenes and family members resurfacing. They become both audience and protagonist in a cathartic play of their lives, aiming for redemption. This redemption is envisioned as a moment when reality, no longer obscured by the darkness of their souls, turns white, offering clarity and a path to serenity. The narrative delves into the stark realities of life as perceived through the women's psychological lenses. It questions the nature of their reality, the presence of light within it, and their ability to confront and survive it. The novel probes the possibility of achieving psychological peace and distinguishes between illusion, memory, and real time. It explores the escape from pain and madness. Inspired by two iconic American plays, A Streetcar Named Desire and Long Day's Journey into Night, White Reality focuses on the perennial issue of the lack of genuine communication, beginning within the family and perpetuating a cycle of problematic characters influencing both society and family. This cycle persists as long as true love fails to manifest in actions. This novel is a poignant exploration of these themes, encapsulating the struggle for understanding and connection in a complex world.
