Nothing can nullify the horror contained within this play's
opening sentence: "Fifteen years ago I killed my sister." One hot
summer afternoon when the narrator was driving home from work, he noticed a
small creature run out into the street. Then he heard a thud. When he returned
to the scene of the accident, he discovered his little sister lying dead in the
street. The rest of the play portrays how grief can unravel a family. The
narrator takes a job in New York City and refers to himself in the third
person, perhaps in attempt to assuage his grief and dissociate himself from the
person who caused the accident. His parents eventually separate. His father
dies of testicular cancer in a dingy room, and his mother enters a mental
institution. The play is really a monolog in which the narrator quotes other
characters' words.
"Rapp’s
prose is powerful, graphic and haunting," says SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL
“There is no denying the power and poignancy of
Rapp’s prose” –Robert Dominguez, New York Daily News
