Author: Chloe Aridjis
Renowned internationally for her lyrically unsettling novels 'Book of Clouds', 'Asunder' and 'Sea Monsters', the Mexican writer Chloe Aridjis crosses borders in her work as much as in life. Now, collected here for the first time, her stories, essays and pen portraits reveal an author as imaginatively at home in the short form as in her longer fiction. Conversations with the presences who dwell on the threshold of waking and reverie – these pieces will stay with you long after the lamps have flickered out.At once fabular and formally innovative, acquainted with reverie and rigorous report, sensitive to the needs of a wider ecology yet familiar with the landscapes of the unconscious, her texts are both dream dispatches and wayward word plays infused with the pleasure and possibilities of language.
ISBN 9781913513290. Prototype Publishing. pb. 280 pages.
