"Rasma hated her dreams; they made her sick - she rested best when she fell into complete silence and darkness."

Rasma is a taxi driver with a mysterious past, a mysterious present, an uncertain future, and a complex relationship with a 'double'. We follow her through a series of encounters personal and professional - some troubling, some comic, some profound - as she struggles with her sense of identity and belonging while trying to make ends meet.

From the Strangers Press pamphlet series, Bodies.
