One of the most gifted writers of her time Heather Lewis, wrote the iconic gay novel “Notice,” which explores trauma. The narrative centers on Nina, a young woman in danger who becomes entangled in a web of danger. She plays tricks in the train station parking lot close to her parent’s house,
has a sadomasochistic relationship with a couple, and ultimately gets arrested and admitted to a mental health facility for therapy. Notice is a frightening examination of power and pursuit because of Lewis’s elegant and astute language, which is presented in an emotional fugue condition.
