Abstract
We are sitting with our old mother in the nursing home.‘Of course I’m lonesome for your kids. But it’s not like being in a strange place where you don’t know anymore.’She smiles, trying to reassure us. ‘There are plenty of people here from good old Willy.’She adds. ‘Of course, a lot of them can’t talk’. She pauses, and goes on: ‘A lot of them can’t see’.She looks at us through her thick-lensed glasses. We know she can’t see anything but light and shadow.‘I’m the last of the Mohicans, as they say’.The Last of the Mohicans, Lydia Davis (2013)
