So I am Glad

Informationen zum Autor A. L. Kennedy has twice been selected as one of Granta’s Best of Young British Novelists and has won a host of other awards – including the Costa Book of the Year for her novel Day . She lives in Essex. Klappentext Jennifer M. Wilson has retreated behind sound-proof double doors. As a professional enunciator, announcer and voice-over artiste she has decided to become a voice and the recording studio is an ideal place to hide from the pain of love and hate. But reality eventually breaks in... "Kennedy's prose is quite remarkable for its range and inventiveness. With shimmering, sly dexterity she subverts and reorders language...She is an exacting writer, unafraid of making demands on her readers. The demands are worth it." "Literary Review". Her other books include "Looking for the Possible Dance" and "Now that You're Back". Zusammenfassung Until reality breaks in and Jennifer uncovers the harsh vocabulary of addiction and the addictive extremes of sex. -An alchemical romance, a Swiftian satire for our times, an impossible spiritual journey and a devastating plummet into insanity and perversion, So I Am Glad is oblique, incisive, hilarious and horrific.
