Abstract

Espresso is a shot of caffeine, Italian family, death, and Catholic erotic mysticism. Rosa unfolds the story of her father's car accident and how it affects the lives of the three women who love him the most: his daughter, his mother and his wife. Meanwhile, Amante, the second uninvited narrator, bursts into the story when Rosa avoids the truth, skips over parts, or is unable to continue.
