Softcover. Condition: Good. Winner of the 2020 Believer Book Award for Fiction"A brilliant study of the mundane, full of unexpected detours and driving prose. Hjorth's novel ingeniously orbits the intimate stories that are possible only when a character has put words on paper and sent them through the post." - New York Times Book Review, The Best Post Office Novel You Will Read Before the Election"Vigdis Hjorth is one of my favorite contemporary writers." - Sheila Heti, author of Motherhood and How Should a Person Be?From the author of the 2019 National Book Award Longlisted Will and TestamentEllinor, a 35-year-old media consultant, has not been feeling herself; she's not been feeling much at all lately. Far beyond jaded, she picks through an old diary and fails to recognise the woman in its pages, seemingly as far away from the world around her as she's ever been. But when her coworker vanishes overnight, an unusual new task is dropped on her desk. Off she goes to meet the Norwegian Postal Workers Union, setting the ball rolling on a strange and transformative six months.This is an existential scream of a novel about loneliness (and the postal service!), written in Vigdis Hjorth's trademark spare, rhythmic and cutting style.

Book
Softcover. Condition: Good. Reprint. From the author of How Should a Person Be? (one of the most talked-about books of the year-Time Magazine) and the New York Times Bestseller Women in Clothes comes a daring novel about whether to have children.In Motherhood, Sheila Heti asks what is gained and what is lost when a woman becomes a mother, treating the most consequential decision of early adulthood with the candor, originality, and humor that have won Heti international acclaim and made How Should A Person Be? required reading for a generation.In her late thirties, when her friends are asking when they will become mothers, the narrator of Hetis intimate and urgent novel considers whether she will do so at all. In a narrative spanning several years, casting among the influence of her peers, partner, and her duties to her forbearers, she struggles to make a wise and moral choice. After seeking guidance from philosophy, her body, mysticism, and chance, she discovers her answer much closer to home.Motherhood is a courageous, keenly felt, and starkly original novel that will surely spark lively conversations about womanhood, parenthood, and about how-and for whom-to live.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In July 2012, aged thirty, Juliet Jacques underwent sex reassignment surgery-a process she chronicled with unflinching honesty in a serialised national newspaper column. Trans tells of her life to the present moment: a story of growing up, of defining yourself, and of the rapidly changing world of gender politics. Fresh from university, eager to escape a dead-end job and launch a career as a writer, she navigates the treacherous waters of a world where, even in the liberal and feminist media, transgender identities go unacknowledged, misunderstood or worse. Revealing, honest,humorous, and self-deprecating, Trans includes an epilogue with Sheila Heti, author of How Should a Person Be? "First published by Verso in 2015"--Title page verso.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -A pioneering work of modernist fiction, using her unique stream-of-consciousness technique to explore the inner lives of her characters, Virginia Woolf's To the Lighthouse is widely regarded as one of the greatest artistic achievements of the twentieth century. This Penguin Classics edition is edited by Stella McNichol, with an introduction and notes by Hermione Lee.To the Lighthouse is at once a vivid impressionistic depiction of a family holiday, and a meditation on marriage, on parenthood and childhood, on grief, tyranny and bitterness. For years now the Ramsays have spent every summer in their holiday home in Scotland, and they expect these summers will go on forever; but as the First World War looms, the integrity of family and society will be fatally challenged. With a psychologically introspective mode, the use of memory, reminiscence and shifting perspectives gives the novel an intimate, poetic essence, and at the time of publication in 1927 it represented an utter rejection of Victorian and Edwardian literary values. Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) is regarded as a major 20th century author and essayist, a key figure in literary history as a feminist and modernist, and the centre of 'The Bloomsbury Group', an informal collective of artists and writers that exerted a powerful influence over early twentieth-century British culture. Between 1925 and 1931 Virginia Woolf produced what are now regarded as her finest masterpieces, from Mrs Dalloway (1925) to the poetic and highly experimental novel The Waves (1931). She also maintained an astonishing output of literary criticism, short fiction, journalism and biography, including the playfully subversive Orlando (1928) and A Room of One's Own (1929) a passionate feminist essay.If you enjoyed To the Lighthouse, you might like James Joyce's A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, also available in Penguin Classics.'Bears endless re-reading . the sea encircles the story in a brilliant ebb and flow'Rachel Billington 199 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -When Holly applies for a job at the Paradise - one of the city's oldest cinemas, squashed into the ground floor of a block of flats - she thinks it will be like any other shift work. She cleans toilets, sweeps popcorn, avoids the belligerent old owner, Iris, and is ignored by her aloof but tight-knit colleagues who seem as much a part of the building as its fraying carpets and endless dirt. Dreadful, lonely weeks pass while she longs for their approval, a silent voyeur. So when she finally gains the trust of this cryptic band of oddballs, Holly transforms from silent drudge to rebellious insider and gradually she too becomes part of the Paradise - unearthing its secrets, learning its history and haunting its corridors after hours with the other ushers. It is no surprise when violence strikes, tempers change and the group, eyes still affixed to the screen, starts to rapidly go awry. 200 pp. Englisch.

Sie teilt die Menschen in Vogel-, Fisch- und Bärenwesen; sie selbst ist ein Vogel (flüchtig, scheu), ihre Freundin Annie ein Fisch (sozial, engagiert, ein Schwarmtier). Miras Vater wiederum, der einen starken Einfluss auf sie ausübt, ist ein (machtvoll emotionaler) Bär. Und sein Tod für sie kaum zu verwinden.Ein modernes Märchen über die Macht der Liebe und das Ende der Welt.

Paperback. Condition: New. New; Um romance provocador e corajoso sobre o desejo e o dever de procriar, escrito pela brilhante escritora canadense Sheila Heti.Em Maternidade, Sheila Heti reflete sobre os ganhos e as perdas para uma mulher que decide se tornar mãe, tratando a decisão que mais traz consequências na vida adulta com a franqueza, a originalidade e o humor que lhe renderam reconhecimento internacional por seu livro anterior, How Should a Person Be?.Ao se aproximar dos quarenta anos, numa fase em que todas as suas amigas se perguntam quando irão ter filhos, a narradora do romance intimista e urgente de Heti no limiar entre a ficção e autorreflexão questiona se aquela é uma experiência que ela quer ter. Numa narrativa que se estende ao longo de muitos anos, moldada a partir de conversas com seus pares e seu parceiro e de sua relação com os pais, ela se vê em um embate para fazer uma escolha sábia e coerente. Depois de buscar ajuda na filosofia, no próprio corpo, no misticismo e no acaso, ela descobre a resposta num lugar bem mais familiar do que imaginaria."Nunca vi ninguém escrever sobre a relação entre não ter filhos, escrever e a tristeza das mães do modo que Sheila Heti faz." Elif Batuman, autora de Os possessos e A idiota; 312 pages.

As his eyes adjust to the half-light, he finds her lying in bed, eyes closed and mouth agape. In that instant he cannot tell whether she is asleep or dead. The sight of his mother's body, caught between these two possibilities, causes Jordan to plunge headlong into the uncertain depths of consciousness itself.From androids to cannibals to sex clubs, an unforgettable personal odyssey emerges, populated by a cast of sublime outsiders in search for the ever-elusive nature of self. Part ontological thriller, part millennial saga, Liminal is a riotous and moving portrait of a young man in volatile times, a generation caught in suspended animation, and a sons enduring love for his mother. From award-winning playwright and filmmaker Jordan Tannahill comes a masterful and moving novel in the tradition of Ben Lerner's Leaving the Atocha Station and Sheila Heti's How Should a Person Be.
