Kay realises two things: she's finally made it to the city that made her in celluloid and prose from across the Pacific - Kerouac, Friends, Plath - and that trauma she's endured in her relationship has left gaping holes in her memory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn New York, at last, Kay has room to begin the work of piecing herself back together through art and food.
