Here are the download links for Mother, You and I Are Not Bernadette Mayer.

25k+ words, plus another 24k or so in optional "developer commentary".

No one was harmed in the making of this work.

(except the author and her poor, poor body)

Before you download, you are advised as always to READ THE TAGS,
which I have helpfully encoded in ROT13 for those of you who are
so mature and intelligent and lovely that you needn't bother with
such warnings or information. Please let me know if I missed any.
Your mental and emotional well-being are important to us.

All I will say is that this is a deeply personal, semiautobiographical work.

We cannot erase or replace the past. All we can do is try to make sense of it.

Please treat with kindness this fragment of myself I now share with you.
