Another Love Discourse

"Easy for you to believe foundational truths until the foundation shifts," Edie Meidav writes in this lyric, hungry and idea-driven memoir, which responds to the taxonomy of Roland Barthes's A Lover's Discourse. The year before the coronavirus pandemic, Meidav experienced divorce, the death of a mother, the loss of a childhood home, moves, new love, and the desire to create a stable world for two teen daughters. Questioning and noticing, forever seeking authenticity, her book spans a globe of themes, including Meidav's work with an asylum seeker; the play of grief, empathy, and legacy; the link between sexuality and physical space; and how we seek to overcome blindness in human relations. Unified in spirit, interdisciplinary in approach, Another Love Discourse answers Barthes's call to listen to any world, even our own neighbourhood and country, as "an iridescent exchange carried on by multiple voices, on different wavelengths."
