Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. A potent novel about chronic illness and the circular nature of recovery-shortlisted for the major Australian literary award The Stella Prize. In the wake of a major operation, a twenty-eight-year-old woman with chronic illness has twelve weeks to heal, or rather, to acclimate to her new body and prepare herself to leave the routines, comforts, and interiority of her convalescence. In the hydrotherapy pool, she meets Frida, a young woman who looks strikingly similar to her and is also in a state of recovery. But Frida sees her chronic illness as something to overcome and her body as something to control. She adores the pool and pushes the narrator and herself toward an active life, relentlessly pursuing the prevailing narrative of illness followed by recovery. But the narrator also happens upon Sylvia, another young, convalescing woman, resting on a bench in a nearby park, which the narrator frequents on the days she is too ill to swim. Sylvia understands her body and the narrator's in a different way, gently encouraging her to rest, to perceive illness as something happening to her, but which does not define her. Throughout the narrator's recovery, these women shadow, overlap, mirror, and complicate one another, and what begins as two seemingly undemanding friendships is challenged by what each woman asks of the narrator, of themselves, and of their bodies. A potent novel about chronic illness and the circular nature of recovery--shortlisted for the major Australian literary award The Stella Prize.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. SHORTLISTED FOR THE STELLA PRIZE SHORTLISTED FOR THE UNIVERSITY OF QUEENSLAND FICTION BOOK AWARD an illuminating reflection on what it means to live with pain. Publishers WeeklyBody Friend is a deeply intimate tribute to the fragile and porous self, written in prose of rare clarity and tenderness. I felt everything reading this book.Claire Thomas, author of The Performance and Fugitive BlueBody Friend is a novel that clings to the mind long after it finishes. ArtsHUB a tender and raw novel about friendship, chronic pain and the healing power of water. Harper's Bazaar Katherine Brabon distinguished herself with her first novels, The Memory Artist and The Shut Ins, but she has surpassed these and reached an early career pinnacle with her enigmatically titled novel, Body Friend.Books + PublishingLate in the summer five years ago, when I was recovering from a surgical procedure, I met two women within a few weeks of each other and I saw both of them regularly, always separately, for some months afterwards. Summer did not give way easily that year, and even so we must force our bodies down to sleep in the heat, and even if experience does not give itself up easily to representation, I will lay it down anyway; frame the raw and exigent weeks, the untrustworthy months after the hospital, render it and them, Frida and Sylvia, as closely as possible to realityor whatever is the feelingof a life and mind lived inside a body. A woman leaves the hospital after an operation and starts swimming in a pool in Melbournes inner suburbs. There she meets Frida, who is uncannily like her in her experience of illness. Soon after, she meets another woman in a local park, Sylvia, who sees her pain and encourages her to rest. The two new friends seem to be polar opposites: Frida adores the pool and the natural world, Sylvia clings to the protection of interior worlds. What begins as two seemingly simple friendships is challenged by what each woman asks of her, of themselves, and their bodies. From the acclaimed author of The Memory Artist and The Shut Ins comes a new novel about the relationship between body and self, and how we must dive beneath the surface to really know ourselves. PRAISE FOR BODY FRIEND: Body Friend shows that pain can be a friend and a friend can be a mirror, but what they reflect is more than just a mirror image, and contains many possibilities. Sydney Morning HeraldBody Friend is tender and expressive. Brabons writing is exquisitely constructed. Her prose holds quiet emotional weight putting the reader in mind, particularly, of Elena Ferrantes style which is extraordinarily effective in capturing the lived realities of the body. Body Friend is a novel that clings to the mind long after it finishes. ArtsHUB Its language is startling for its poetic tendencies it is rhythmic and observant, and liltingly musical as well as its clarity and sharp concision. Brabons prose is one of the deepest pleasures of the novel. The Saturday Paper The plot unfolds artfully and with precision to surprise and exceed readers expectations.Books + Publishing Katherine Brabons Body Friend is a tender ode to the recursive mysteries of the body and the need to find ourselves in other people. The narrators pull between Frida and Sylvia, between effort and surrender, haunted and compel Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Michelle de Kretser, Miles Franklin award-winning author of The Life to Come and Theory & Practice Cure lures you in with mesmeric prose then startles with profound insights on pain, faith, motherhood and, above all, love.Diana Reid, bestselling author of Love & Virtue and Signs of DamageAn utterly joyful reading experience. I inhaled it.Jessie Tu, bestelling author of A Lonely Girl is a Dangerous Thing and The HoneyeaterHer body hurts her all the time now. It is separate, a thing apart. In her mind it has become a person or an object that is not quite her, that she doesnt know. Vera and Thea are mother and daughter. Vera writes for the internet: she constructs identities and scenarios for brands to cater to the ideal consumer. Yet she also consumes the offerings of the online world herself: the addictive pursuit of a cure, the narratives she craves in which mother and daughter find a way out of the shared experience of chronic illness. She becomes preoccupied with a blog written by a woman named Claudia, a mother whose daughter also has a chronic illness. While on holiday in Italy, Thea writes in her journal. She is also constructing a character: an image of herself as she grapples with having the same illness as her mother, Vera. But gradually another person emerges in her journal, through her imaginings of her mother in the same house, the same city, at the same age. They have come to Italy to see where Veras family originates, but also to chase a promised cure in the form of a man said to be able to heal Theas illness.As they both grapple with their own narratives about their bodies and their wellness, all may not be as it seems.Perhaps a story does not necessarily need to be true for us to believe in it?PRAISE FOR CURE: As you reach the end and Brabon draws the threads together, a wise, tender portrait of the relationship between a mother and daughter emerges. Cure is a beguiling and resonant novel, in which the process of belief and the difficulty of integrating the experience of illness into self-identity is revealed to be extraordinarily fraught. ABC Arts Capturing the difficult intimacies between a mother and daughter, Cure questions the stories they tell about their bodies, wellness, healing and memory.The Guardian brilliant meditation on the selfThe Saturday Paper In a novel less committed to nuance, and to resisting easy answers and straightforward binaries, reading and writing might come to represent something like a cure. Brabon, however, is far too clear-eyed and thoughtful a writer for that.The Conversation Brabons elegant, poetic prose is transporting; she probes our human vulnerabilities with deep insight, empathy, and restraint. Cure is timely and entirely compelling.Sarah Holland-Batt, Stella Prize-winning author of The Jaguar an eerie dream of a book.Madeleine Watts, author of The Inland Sea and Elegy, Southwest A tender, delicately woven story that explores the boundaries between a mother and daughter who both live with chronic illness. Sharply intelligent and deeply felt, Cure has much to say about the unreliability of the body, the alienating nature of pain, and the cacophony of voices scientific, religious, online offering comfort, promising relief. An intimate and imaginative novel about family, faith, and the healing power of human connection.< Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
