Eighty-eight-year old Elva and Courtney, an attractive
sixteen-year-old with a severed spinal chord, lie in adjacent beds
in a grim Bismarck, North Dakota convalescent home. Ignored by the
world, the only resource they have left is their imagination.
As Elva and Courtney go on a fantasy trip to Italy (accompanied by
Elva's long dead husband and guided by a 1910 travel book), Elva
shows Courtney a new way to envision love. But to accept it, and
the gift of the imagination, Courtney must make the trip her
own--even if she destroys the art Elva holds most dear.
Written entirely in dialogue, "Mind's Eye "can be performed as
reader's theater, but it is a fully satisfying novel. In this
extraordinarily innovative, profound, and yet readable book Paul
Fleischman makes us all feel what a powerful--and dangerous--tool
the imagination can be.
