When Trisha Low moves West, her journey is motivated by the need to arrive “somewhere better” - someplace utopian, like revolution; or safe, like home; or even clarifying, like identity. Instead, she faces the end of her relationships, a family whose values she has difficulty sharing, and America’s casual racism, sexism, and homophobia.

Hölderlin war niemals verrückt. In der Konsequenz des Leben-und-besingen-Müssens einer eigentlichen Lebensbejahung, der Annahme des Leides und des Glaubens an die göttliche und liebende Grundstimmung der menschlichen Seele, musste Hölderlin von seinen Mitmenschen, insbesondere von seiner Mutter, für verrückt erklärt werden.
