Be Proud of Me
T1333749
The mysterious Mr Nowicki. A sister (he misses), a woman (the chemist - his lover), a hotel he's sure he's already checked into, a plane he's destined never to catch, a briefing room where he's made to rehearse small talk, a doctor who sells a dangerous kind of health insurance, a necklace glinting in the moonlight. Something bad has happened, but a crumbling memory makes recall evasive.
Be Proud of Me switches between slickly improvised banter and an hallucinatory text scripted from tourist phrase books, a dark thriller viewed from the warped perspective of a failing mind.
