This is an excellent surrealist story about the child of immigrants coming to terms with her own feelings about herself and the cultural heritage that she felt forced upon her through a magical world born out of a house with very cheap rent and some very odd occupants. It was a delight to read and it reinforced my decision never to have a ground line again now that I know how they can trap psychic energy babies.
