Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A BBC "100 Books That Shaped the World""[Helen Garner's] novels give the impression of being in sharper focus than most."New Yorker The novel that launched the career of one of Australias greatest writers, following the doomed infatuations of a young, single mother, enthralled by the excesses of late-70s MelbourneSet in Australia in the late 1970s, Monkey Grip follows single mother and writer Nora as she navigates the tumultuous cityscape of Melbournes bohemian underground, often with her young daughter Gracie in tow. When Nora falls in love with the flighty Javo, she becomes snared in the web of his addiction. And as their tenuous relationship disintegrates, Nora struggles to wean herself off a love that feels impossible to live without.When it first published in 1977, Monkey Grip was both a sensation and a lightning rod. While some critics praised the upstart Garner for her craft, many scorned her gritty depictions of the human body and all its muck, her frankness about sex and drugs and the mess of motherhood, and her unabashed use of her own life as inspiration. Today, Monkey Grip is considered a modern masterpiece.A seminal novel of Australias turbulent 1970s and all it entailedcommunal households, thrumming clubs, friendships, children, love, drugs, and sexMonkey Grip now makes its long-overdue American debut.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The novel that launched the career of one of Australias greatest writers, following the doomed infatuations of a young, single mother, enthralled by the excesses of Melbourne's late-70s countercultureThe name Helen Garner commands near-universal acclaim. A master novelist, short-story writer, and journalist, Garner is best known for her frank, unsparing, and intricate portraits of Australian life, often drawn from the pages of her own journals and diaries. Now, in a newly available US edition, comes the disruptive debut that established Garner's masterful and quietly radical literary voice.Set in Australia in the late 1970s, Monkey Grip follows single mother and writer Nora as she navigates the tumultuous cityscape of Melbournes bohemian underground, often with her young daughter Gracie in tow. When Nora falls in love with the flighty Javo, she becomes snared in the web of his addiction. And as their tenuous relationship disintegrates, Nora struggles to wean herself off a love that feels impossible to live without.When it first published in 1977, Monkey Grip was both a sensation and a lightning rod. While some critics praised the upstart Garner for her craft, many scorned her gritty depictions of the human body and all its muck, her frankness about sex and drugs and the mess of motherhood, and her unabashed use of her own life as inspiration. Today, such criticism feels old-fashioned and glaringly gendered, and Monkey Grip is considered a modern masterpiece.A seminal novel of Australias turbulent 1970s and all it entailedcommunal households, music, friendships, children, love, drugs, and sexMonkey Grip now makes its long-overdue American debut.
