Lithium For Medea, Kate Braverman
A junkie named Rose copes with addiction, the boho squalor of Venice Beach, an impotent boyfriend who loves Star Trek, a father who’s dying of cancer, and a mother who’s a complete narcissist. From the first line, when we encounter Rose shooting up in the bathtub, until the last line, which offers a new kind of beginning, Lithium for Medea is poetry.
Medea, Euripides
The tragic tale of Medea, whose husband, Jason, dumps her for a real princess. In retaliation or grief, she kills their children.
