The conclusion of a radically philosophical and personal series of
Fanny Howe novels animated by questions of race, spirituality,
childhood, transience, resistance, and poverty.
First published by Semiotexte in 2001, Indivisible concludes a
radically philosophical and personal series of Fanny Howe novels
animated by questions of race, spirituality, childhood, transience,
wonder, resistance, and poverty. Depicting the tempestuous multiracial
world of artists and activists who lived in working-class Boston during
the 1960s, Indivisible begins when its narrator, Henny, locks her
husband in a closet so that she might better discuss things with God. On
the verge of a religious conversion, Henny attempts to make peace with
the dead by telling their stories.
