Résumé 0

“Keel and Kool”, the first of Frame’s short stories in The Lagoon, is the fictionalized version of her sister’s death. The family has gathered for a picnic and each member tries, in vain, to forget the tragic event. Throughout the story, Frame denounces the various strategies of avoidance adopted in front of the taboos of death, loss, and loneliness.
