Creative synchronicity

    • Caruth’s example describes the synchronicity inherent in the artistic creation.

Traumas and losses

    • J.B.’s life has been punctuated by a series of traumas and losses, including, most prominently, the disappearance of her mother when she was just a child.
    • At the same time, J.B.’s memories of those experiences have become blurred, not only by the passing of time, but by her fictionalisation of them.
    • For example, J.B. records her niece saying: “Tell him, Lucie – she might have even said Aunt Lucie at this point”.
    • It is a subtle correction, but one that catches the reader – well, what did she say, we wonder.
    • And if J.B. cannot get this detail correct, what else might she be misremembering or failing to record?
    • […] I could not tell them that all too often I doubt my own version of events.
    • A probing profile article refers to her migrant parents, her father’s life in India, her childhood in the Australian bush.
    • One gets the sense that J.B. is finely crafting her life for us, painstakingly editing, revising the manuscript of her experiences.
