Summary:
"Voyager begins with Nona Fern©Łndez accompanying her elderly mother to the doctor to seek an explanation for her frequent falls. As the author stares at the image of her mother's brain scan, it occurs to her that the electrical signals shown on the screen resemble the night sky. Inspired by the mission of the Voyager spacecrafts, Fern©Łndez begins a process observationion and documentation. Weaving together the story of her mother's mental illness with the story of her country and the cosmos itself, Fern©Łndez braids astronomy and astrology, neuroscience and memory, family history and national history into this intensely imagined autobiographical essay"--
