A reverse negative is a photographic image in negative light, which also appears literally reversed. In a sense, it may be a double removal from the "reality" of the photograph. In the title piece of Reverse Negative, the female narrator says, "This is a shadow of what most people normally see. This is the opposite, the reverse negative." The story portrays the mundane existence of a couple who have recently learned about the death of their son, and their difficult time trying to find out what happened somewhere in Hungary.
