Author: Cecilie Lind, Hazel Evans (trans.)
Highly acclaimed in Denmark, Girlbeast is a fearless, unsettling, and poetic reimagining of the Lolita narrative, where power shifts unpredictably, and desire and coercion become indistinguishable. In a world that fetishises girlhood, it asks whether a girl can be blamed for internalising the roles imposed upon her. Can she wield her youth as power in this stifling system? With sharp prose & an addictive plot, Lind crafts a daring examination of female agency, sexuality, and the complexities of consent. The novel evokes the idea of the girl as animal – a creature conditioned to be both docile pet and wild beast, torn between submission and rebellion, innocence and desire. Brave, provocative, and unflinching, Girlbeast is a gripping, vital novel for our times.
ISBN 9781913513771. Prototype Publishing. pb. 180 pages.
