Description
Set within the restless corridors of an airport, this novel follows Evelyn Hilary “Pat” O’Rooley, an Irish transplant who chooses to remain “in transit” rather than commit to departure. As the hours stretch between delays and announcements, Evelyn’s sense of self—especially the question of gender—slips into uncertainty, turning ordinary waiting into a psychological and social labyrinth. Structured in four sections plus a brief “Codetta,” the book blends sharp observation with experimental, inward-facing narration to explore identity as something performed, forgotten, and renegotiated. With its contemporary focus and Brophy’s distinctive, witty intelligence, it offers a compelling meditation on liminality, belonging, and the stories we tell to make ourselves legible.
