Swim the Shattered Rhine

• Author / Creator

  Saurette, Gabrielle M

• Swim the Shattered Rhine is literary collage: a fragmented travelogue arranged around both the sharp and dull edges of memory… a series of snapshots cemented together by fiction and nonfiction. As it meditates on the meaning of story and truth, this piece strives to answer the question of how it is we manage to heal from the wounds of history and of our own small lives.
