Coming. Apart.
Description
Icy, intricate, and unflinching, Coming. Apart. captures the zeniths and nadirs of the human experience in six propulsive stories about sexual obsession and doomed relationships.
In the stark, poetic voice that garnered her collection Anatomy. Monotony. cult status in Norway and abroad, writer and performance artist Edy Poppy offers a vision of sexuality and alienation unlike any other. Beautifully translated from the original Norwegian by May-Brit Akerholt, her stories explore moments of labyrinthine intimacy with a cold intensity that proves impossible to forget.
