'These tales of unconventional love reinforce Levy's reputation as a major contemporary writer who never pulls her punches.' The Independent ----------- 'Metropolitan and knowingly sophisticated.' Sunday Times ----------- 'These ominous, odd, erotic stories burrow deep into your brain.' Financial Times ----------- 'A collection of mischievous vignettes of Mitteleuropa.' The Telegraph ----------- 'Like their protagonists, these stories are powerful because they are fragmentary, elliptical.' The Guardian ----------- 'Levy's pen is a volatile weapon.' The Observer ----------- 'Levy sensitively conveys the phenomenology of textures, of skin and breath. Embedded in her coiled, polished sentences is the drive that pushes us together, and forces us apart.' Times Literary Supplement

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 'Kissing you is like new paint and old pain. It is like coffee and car alarms and a dim stairway and a stain and it's like smoke.' ('Placing a Call') How does love change us? And how do we change ourselves for love - or for lack of it? Ten stories by acclaimed author Deborah Levy explore these delicate, impossible questions. In Vienna, an icy woman seduces a broken man; in London gardens, birds sing in computer start-up sounds; in ad-land, a sleek copywriter becomes a kind of shaman. These are twenty-first century lives dissected with razor-sharp humour and curiosity, stories about what it means to live and love, together and alone. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR004941406
