Description

Sarah Mangold's brilliant and eccentric 'Household Mechanics' is about the attempt at telling the story. And the impossibility of telling the story. Never fully narrated but introduced and re-introduced, a continuous attempts at a telling. Overheard conversation, family stories, literary theory, music, and even TV become part of history -- what you repeat and share -- the story you retell. What is the story? It is an attempt at communication -- the reattempt -- with different words. It is an attempt at telling it right -- that there is no right -- no ultimate story.
