Aggiungi al carrelloPaperback. Condizione: New. When Alice is with Mathilde, her experience of the world shifts, as though Mathilde brings with her a force that charges everything around her: the park bench, the sticky linoleum floor of the supermarket, their interlocked hands, the buttons on a winter coat. But Mathilde is also mercurial and "perfectly" married to Alexander, and Alice is moving into a bigger flat with Simon who has just returned to her life. Alice's precarious solution is to proceed into a quadrilateral relationship, impatient to define her own outline in the eyes of others.Elastic is a novel about being a woman. About being a woman among other women, among men, and about being alone with one's female body. Alice doesn't like being a woman. She feels estranged from her own body, from her gender. At the same time, Elastic is also a modern love story. About Alice's silenced yet stormy crush on the enigmatic Mathilde. A crush that has no place neither in Alice's relationship with Simon, in Mathilde's marriage, or even in Alice herself.Bille cleanly gleans the nebulous distinctions between love, sex and intimacy, exerting a softly fragmentary style that underpins Alice's vacillations. She explores what it means to refuse settling - in a relationship, in society, and within oneself - and to want both love and community without being able to detach from the selfishness that brought us there in the first place. Praise for Elastic The tone of the novel is set from the very first page. Alice, a brilliantly honest main character, narrates the novel in a uniquely fragmented style. Bille uses creative imagery that is sometimes disturbing, but always poetic- Buzz MagazineAlice in Wonderland like you've never seen her before- Octavia BrightBille's Alice has relatives or even sisters in Françoise Sagan's 1950s novels - there is something Saganesque about Elastic and its depiction of open love affairs and the complicated triangulations, mirroring and conflicts they might entail- PolitikenA novel that speaks quietly and yet insistently of the loneliness of being in love and the feeling of being trapped in one's own body- InformationElastic is difficult to let go of. It left me with the feeling of being seen. And not just seen: seen through- POV InternationalElastic is first and foremost a tale of Alice and her fumbling attempts to set love free. But it is the novel's lonely, heartfelt voice and its unromantic depiction of love that gets stuck into your bones- ATLASJOHANNE BILLE (b.1993) is a Danish novelist based in Copenhagen. Elastic is her second novel, originally published in Danish by Forlaget Gladiator in 2018.SHERYLIN NICOLETTE HELLBERG is a literary translator. She has published translations of Tove Ditlevsen, Jonas Eika, and Ida Marie Hede. In 2018, she received an American-Scandinavian Foundation Award for her translation of Caspar Eric's Nike.

Compiled during the initial lockdown in Europe, this special collection is a meteoric publishing project with contributions from some of the most exciting and innovative authors working today. Meditating on notions of distance and closeness, sameness and alterity, extinguishing and kindling, Tools for Extinction considers how a common pause might give rise to new modes of domesticity and shift experiences of time. What gestures and actions are we willing to perform to make ourselves, and each other, feel at ease - or at work? What tools and objects are useful, or unprecedentedly useless, to us in the process? And as our species' trademark proclivity for projecting ourselves into the future is disrupted, might we come to see the buildings, animals, plants, and foodstuffs around us in a new light?The anthology takes its name from Steven Brand's Whole Earth Catalog, a 1960s counterculture compendium of product reviews, essays, and articles on the themes of self-sufficiency, ecology, and alternative education. By giving "access to tools", a new social order and a more sustainable Earth was imagined. Compiled, edited and with a foreword by Denise Rose Hansen.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. An ageing eunuch, named Wang Wei after the great poet, looks back on his life at the court of the Song dynasty in 12th-century ChinaWang Wei has always chosen his words carefully. His unobtrusive presence has seen him through the reign of ve emperors, but now, as his own time is running out, he immerses himself in an unbridled account of a life conned at court. From the early separation from his parents, sisters, and brother who did not survive the operation into a eunuch to the power struggles he has witnessed and endured, Wang Wei examines human relationships with precision and a catching sense of wonder. While rumours are weapons, it is love and its various forms of expression that most fascinate Wang Wei.Reaching into a secret and secluded world, Carlson's vivid prose is as delicate as it is enigmatic. A meditation on power and exclusion, love and loneliness, gender and identity, ageing and transformation, Eunuch is a compact masterpiece. An ageing eunuch looks back on his life at the court of the Song dynasty in 12th-century China Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
