While shepherding her beloved grandmother through hospice at home, Polonyi wanders into slippery and informative familial-folkloric reveriescapes, gathering cartographic knowledge from her grandmother's body, name, language, personal possessions, and stories. In a \"fever of the figurative\" she desperately records the residues of her grandmother's waning memories while condemning violent political conditions, interrogating intergenerational psychoemotional curses, and contemplating ethics of witnessing.
