In her new novel, 'Beginning, Middle, End,' Valeria Luiselli weaves together the narratives of Sicily and Mexico, exploring the intertwined realms of memory and imagination. The story is centered around a recently divorced novelist who engages in a thought-provoking game with her daughter, asking questions and interpreting passages from various books. In one poignant exchange, the mother and daughter discuss the characters in the mother’s latest work, reflecting on their own relationship and identities. Luiselli's narrative gracefully dissolves the boundaries between past and present, as well as between different cultures.
