Astral Travel, about a charismatic but troubled Irishman and his
effect on his family, explores the way that the secrets forged by
cultural, religious and sexual prejudice can reverberate down the
generations. It's also about telling stories, and the fact that the
tales we tell about ourselves can profoundly affect the lives of
others. In a framing narration that exposes the slippery and
contingent nature of story, an adult daughter, brought up on
romantic lore about her now dead father but having experienced him
very differently, tells how she tried to write about him, only to
come up against too many mysteries and clashing versions of the
family's past. Yet when a buried truth emerges, the mysteries can
be solved, and, via storytelling's power of empathy, she finally
makes sense of it all.
