'Reflections' is more about mirrors than machinations. Mirrors may be stories, observations, and poking the inert with a stick. What does an old woman who still writes have to offer? A long life split between the Old and New Worlds; encounters with incredible people and quite a few villains; ideas about science and art, and why they reflect one another. But mostly just a place to encounter friends and other strong opinions, before the curtain falls, or the lights turn up. Because we all need one another.
