Window — Nancy Jensen

What is a window but a two-way device to relieve the opacity of a wall? Nancy Jensen's stories and essays allow readers to see into the rooms of her mind. Like some windows, Jensen's book also serves as a mirror wherein our own features are reflected: how we struggle to define ourselves within our families, to inhabit our own bodies, to be known for who we are, to learn what we need about the illusions and insights, the generostiy and selfishness of ourselves and others.
