Kaleido Scoptero niabingima4c74 — Daniela Kuper is in our families’ rooms. Listening, intuiting, witnessing how intimates can simultaneously savage and salvage each other. How each loving gesture contains some small threat, how each generosity is at the same time a staking of one’s claim. In the lovely “Hunger & Thirst,” she writes how our families--the people we love, who should know us best--sometimes escape us; how sometimes they corner and limit us, and keep us from being who we need to be--for ourselves, and ourselves alone, and of the guilt feelings that arise from going against those we care most about. She writes with a deft touch about the pettiness and little grudges people hold, and how, despite our best attempts not to get worn down by them, we do. How every moment shared in the past can be fodder for aching in the present. She writes gloriously unusual, yet perfect sensual descriptions of things: Describing her Aunt’s home as “[smelling] like Clearasil, Polident and old throat.” How she writes of hearing schoolchildren playing outside a window with “fall was in those screams, everything those kids had to get out before school corked them.” And in temple “[her prayers] jumped track and went electric, sizzing and spazzing so her words went to other kingdoms besides heaven.” There’s real poetry in her writing; through her astonishing specificity in calling up the real-seeming places where the character live and events transpire, she places us firmly with the people in “Hunger & Thirst.” One paragraph describing one block of a neighborhood gives us the history of a time, of a place, of its people. Daniela Kuper writes with true compassion and a magnificent depth of understanding of the unutterable longings within a person that dare not come out for fear of remaining unfulfilled. “Hunger & Thirst” will be as familiar to a reader as their own varied broods, and as particular in and of itself as a created world can be.
