Abstract

The Lake is a novella-length fictional work in lyrical and fragmented prose that explores themes of small town origination, belief, hypersensitivity, alienation, and inheritance. In a village surrounded by forest, two sensorially gifted children from different families negotiate the growing magnitude of what they perceive. This narrative incorporates elements of magical realism, shared and shifting perspective, sound, landscape, and time.
