Sight by Jessie Greengrass
An unnamed woman, newly pregnant after her mother’s death, contemplates the choice to become a parent while reckoning with grief and the legacy of her psychoanalyst grandmother. Interleaving intimate memories with meditations on historical efforts to see inside the body and mind—from early anatomy and X-rays to psychoanalysis—she probes the limits of knowledge, certainty, and care. The result is a lyrical exploration of inheritance, intimacy, and the ethics of looking, as she seeks meaning in what can and cannot be known.
