Night Women - Josephine Surer

Throughout this story, the narrator never directly gives away her profession. She describes it but always shifts back to her son, creating an overall feeling of embarrassment in what she is doing. By constantly referring to her son, I understood that he is the only person the narrator has in her life and therefore this explains the strong feeling of loneliness in her descriptions. 

The narrator's detailed illustrations are what essentially frame this story. Although the paragraphs are short, the descriptions compensate and produce a very dream like ambiance. "A firefly buzzes around the room, finding him and not me. Perhaps it is a mosquito that has learned the gift of lighting itself."(204) Therefore, this fundamentally means that the narrator puts up with her reality through her imagination and her lover for her son.
