Lacuna

The narrative centers on Lucy Lurie, a woman grappling with the aftermath of a brutal sexual assault. Her obsession with author John Coetzee stems from his portrayal of her in his novel, where she is depicted as passive. Determined to reclaim her agency, Lucy seeks to confront Coetzee and rewrite her own story, challenging the narrative that has silenced her. This powerful feminist response not only critiques Coetzee's work but also explores Lucy's journey of healing and self-assertion after trauma.
