MEMORY’S EYES is a contemporary New York Oedipus novel. It is written for readers who enjoy playing with concepts and storylines, here namely the classical Oedipus myth, Sophocles’ three Theban plays, the psychoanalytical concept of the Oedipus complex, and its pop-cultural adaptations in cartoons and jokes. Consequently, this novel is meant to be tragic and funny, playful, but also uncomfortable. Ann, a modern Antigone, candidate in training at a psychoanalytic institute, relives and rethinks the complex story of her wide-ranging family clan. The Prologue reminds the readers of the myth’s characters and destinies, and yet they will find themselves simultaneously knowing and not knowing, anticipating and being surprised by the truth’s revelations.
