Effie Latimer, protagonist of The Haunting of Walter Rabinowitz, is on a quest, a heroine’s journey. The difficulty is, there are few prototypes. Dragon-slayers, explorers who are challenged to follow the wisdom of the heart, are rarely female. (Yes, there’s Joan of Arc, but look what they did to her. A Joanie roast strikes Effie as a less than fitting ending.)The novel, a story of obsessive love, is set in the late 80s; it is a sometimes humorous psychological study of a woman in the throes of loss, a woman who listens to her heart but forgets to heed her head. (Nonetheless, when it comes to matters of the heart, millions of women will relate.) Effie returns to college to pursue another post-grad degree and is wooed by a professor, an age-old tale, though when the man in question dumps her, as he has many other coeds, Effie decides to exact revenge, not in a malicious way, though one certainly troubling to her mentor. While Effie’s bright light is Walter Rabinowitz, ultimately she discovers that each of us must make our own myths. And hope to hell they last.
