Grief by Bertram P
Based on research focusing on the experience of having confused speech and being with confused speakers, this book begins with everyday, commonly understood ideas such as talking too much and examines how confused speech is brought off as a collaborative activity by the people involved. The author became involved in this project because she was interested in how confusion seemed to be something that everyone is not only involved in but also recognizes as part of ordinary life. At the same time, confusion is a word that is used somewhat as a blanket category for some people considered permanently incompetent and set apart from ordinary members of society. Her study analyzes how talk between confused and normal speakers throws light on this tension.
Pat Bertram, a native of Colorado, has become somewhat of a nomad, looking for adventure in whatever comes her way. Recently, she took a five-month cross-country trip in her classic VW Beetle (bought new and never replaced), and when she finishes her current works in progress, she intends to get out on the road again. And who knows, maybe she will write another Pat mystery based on those adventures! In addition to Madame ZeeZee's Nightmare, Pat Bertram is the author of the suspense novels: Light Bringer, More Deaths Than One, A Spark of Heavenly Fire, and Daughter Am I. Bertram is also the author of the non-fiction memoir Grief: The Great Yearning, an exquisite book, wrenching to read, and at the same time full of profound truths.
