Consequence Of Love (LP)

\'Visceral, wild, and so beautifully necessary.\' SALMA EL-WARDANY, author of THESE IMPOSSIBLE THINGS\'Radojevic’s stories and fragments are so sharp-edged they could draw blood. Fierce, funny and angry.\' CATHERINE MAYER, author TIME/LIFE***Across thirty striking tales, Monika Radojevic weaves together the surreal with the everyday, confronting the experiences of contemporary womanhood with a tender ferocity shot through with humour.A woman walks into a bar, and nobody notices. A newly married couple are punished for their childlessness with an unsettling nocturnal invasion. A girl trades her vocal cords for a chance at freedom. A door-to-door salesperson offers the antidote to women’s fear – but it comes at a high price.Bubbling with an urgent rage that occasionally tips over into vengeance, Radojevic deftly charts the moments that make a life: from the warmth of first love to the recognition of anger, and the possibilities that take shape as we find or lose our ability to speak. A Beautiful Lack of Consequence explores the ways in which the world bends and breaks women with the pressure it puts on them – and what happens when those women snap back.Moving and irreverent, dark and otherworldly, A Beautiful Lack of Consequence is a blazing debut collection from the winner of the #Merky Books New Writers’ Prize.***\'Thoughtful, introspective and darkly funny\' READER REVIEW\'So beautiful and raw\' READER REVIEW\'Biting . . . a must read!\' READER REVIEW Σελίδες: 288, Διαστάσεις: 13.8x13.8cm
