An unsettling folktale for a modern age, Right Now explores the darker recesses of the human ability to normalise our traumas. Right Now by Catherine-Anne Toupin, translated by Christopher Campbell is about Alice. Bereft, a mother without her child. Haunted by the cries of her first-born, whilst dealing with the nosy neighbours next door, Alice struggles to keep a grasp on what’s left of her shattered reality. Right Now is a richly drawn portrait of a family coming to terms with their unremitting grief.
