Sylvia and Marina, both single mothers, work in a suburban office building, transcribing tape recordings of witness statements describing detainee abuse at Abu Ghraib. Their ordinary preoccupations--problems with the soap in the restroom, the motives of Marina's new love, Mr. Right, and Sylvia's worries about paying for her son's show choir costume--are a mundane backdrop to the violence represented by the transcripts. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWoodward layers essayistic explorations of the history of ink and writing materials into the women's tale along with the story of the unfinished masterpiece of a French poet, and a writer's notations about her daily commute and the lake behind her house. Then a new crime is revealed. \u003ci\u003eInk\u003c\/i\u003e is an illuminating meditation on what it means to bear witness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eAngela Woodward\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of the novels \u003ci\u003eEnd of the Fire Cult\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eNatural Wonders\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003ci\u003eNatural Wonders\u003c\/i\u003e won the Fiction Collective Two Doctorow Innovative Fiction prize in 2015. \u003ci\u003eRain Taxi\u003c\/i\u003e called it \"a wide-ranging meditative book that is by turns delightful, clever, and heartbreaking.\" Woodward's short fiction has won the Pushcart Prize and been anthologized in Dzanc Books' \u003ci\u003eBest of the Web\u003c\/i\u003e.
