Fathom, an experimental memoir, explores the hinterland of the
narrator's mind. The narrative of Fathom focuses on a tantalising
fragment from the past. `I think I saw a lot of blood' and other
odd surfacings from memory are explored through the work of
psychoanalysis. Much like a kind of detective work to begin with,
the narrative unravels the depths that appear in psychotic
breakdown. Identity is evoked through three personas of the self:
the puppet, the puppet-master and She-who-knows. Poetic in style,
though something of a detective story, the first-person narrative
is richly layered - Plath, Shakespeare, Sophocles and pop songs all
have their place. Highly concentrated, structured in three parts,
non-linear in chronology and highly metaphoric, Fathom appeals to
those with a deep interest in mental health and all types of
therapy.
