and Wendy . Cutting snippets of Barrie's source text, including Barrie's Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens and events in Andrew Birkin's J.M. Barrie & the Lost Boys , Boully centralizes Wendy's experience and sews up bits of her story, stitching the make-believe into the made-quite-real. In her pockets, open ends and open endings fit and hover.... The realness of make-believe washing, make-believe medicine, make-believe food and make-believe sex -- stink, sickness, malnutrition and still-birth -- peep through Boully's stitches. -- Jai Arun Ravine, The Lantern Review Boully's book subtly reveals how we engage in the act of creating narrative through our reading in order to find our own place within a narrative -- in order to be placed within a narrative ourselves -- in the same way that we place characters via our definition of them. This makes narrative a kind of place that we look to find ourselves within or that we try to settle ourselves within. We seek it out like a home because it feels familiar or because it began from the origins of something that felt familiar. . . . Of course, if we are in search of a narrative structure that we can depend on to be there to carry us through the course of the book then Boully's book will not let us find one. Instead, we must be satisfied to continually seek out a home in an unstable narrative or through characters that move beyond the walls of habitual name and narrative. --
