Isbn: 9781628976717 - in transit (15 risultati)

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A gender-bending satire, as fresh and thought-provoking today as it was on its original publication in 1969.Set in an airport lounge, In Transit follows contemporary traveler Evelyn Hillary O'Rooley who has "lost" his/her gender, prompting him/her to perform a series of unsuccessful, yet bizarrely hilarious, philosophical and anatomical tests to rediscover it. Divided into four symphony sections, Brigid Brophy surrounds this simple plot device with an endless stream of puns, allusions, and experiments with narrative consciousness, as our protagonist finds him-/herself in a situation quite similar to a modern Orlando.Widely considered the novel which catapulted Brophy to renown as a postmodern writer, In Transit is a textual labyrinth--littered with word games, metafictional events, and surreal encounters that challenge readers' preconceived notions of gender, identity, and reality. With a new introduction by Katherine Packert Burke, Dalkey Archive Press is thrilled to reintroduce Brophy's relentlessly clever and prescient masterpiece to contemporary readers. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
