“Just as sunsets are more beautiful on hazy days so, too, are the memories of yesterday.” -Lenora Blumberg
“Yesterday Haze, ” the subtly sinister follow-up to Lenora Blumberg’s acclaimed debut “Violet Disguise, ” tells the story of a farmer’s wife who, after maintaining a decades-long affair with a crop duster pilot, decides to come clean to her husband (who also happens to be her lover’s employer). “The memory of him is a rifle in my mouth, ” Blumberg wrote, “and the scent of fig its trigger.” Set in California’s tranquil and dusty San Joaquin Valley, the elaborate tale unfolds like a dream, delicately shifting perceptions like the colors of a dimming dusk. Soft, ripe figs and a woodsy iris form the perfect gauze over your skin. Seductive yet dreamlike.
