Description

According to Delores begins from a startling premise. In a country where rape and violence have become part of daily life, the matter-of-fact prose offers an unsettling illumination on the mindset of those who adapt to pain. Like Delores who is slightly forty, slightly dotty, totally irresistible and there are fourteen storeys in her heart. Delores is a has-been actress. She has a son whose father she has never been able to identify, and a daughter whose father is the big love of her life who left her one night in love. Delores knows no boundaries: she dances with joy and with pain. When the fullness of this world becomes too much for her, she takes her daughter to the corner for street theatre. To her name clings the sound of tears. She is the queen in King Solomon's songs; she is also the queen of lament, bigger than life itself, a resurrected jester.
