Synopsis

Over, tracks the aftermath of a breakup during the Covid19 pandemic. In sestudes (62-word blocks), the unnamed narrator jumps in and out of moments of an apparently loving relationship. Lacing together disparate chronologies, the book addresses the sexuality of older women and men, the nature of intimacy, empathy and humiliation, and the pleasures and dangers of attachment. Crucially, in its fragmentary form, it embodies the empowering feminist capabilities of narrative disruption. Through the thickening lens of the ageing eye/I, Over, explores how an experience of love might shift and steer us newly, while asking what—other than playlists, WhatsApps and Instagram—remains consistent.
