L''alphabet des poupees

Paperback | French

By (author): Camilla Grudova

Translated by: Marc Charron, Veronique Lessard

Poupees, machines a coudre, aliments en boite, miroirs, corps defaillants defilent au fil de nouvelles qui sont tour a tour enfantines et naives, grotesques et sombres. Ici une revolution feministe; la une ouvriere qui fait tout ce qu''elle peut pour ne pas perdre son Homme dans une societe ou il est mal vu d''etre sans Homme; la encore une creature mi-humaine, mi-araignee qui trouve enfin l''amour dans une grande ville europeenne. En explorant de mille facons ses obsessions dans ses nouvelles saisissantes, Camilla Grudova derange, decontenance.
Les critiques canadiens, americains et britanniques ont apparente cette jeune ecrivaine deja maitre de son art a Angela Carter, Sheila Heti, H.P. Lovecraft, Franz Kafka, Margaret Atwood, David Cronenberg et David Lynch. Sans aucun doute le livre le plus original d''un auteur canadien publie en 2017. Une premiere oeuvre qui pointe clairement vers l''emergence d''un talent litteraire majeur au Canada.
Ce livre est publie en francais.

Dolls, sewing machines, tinned foods, mirrors, and malfunctioning bodies parade through these short stories that are in turn childish and naive, grotesque and dark. We encounter a feminist revolution; a worker who does everything in her power not to lose her Man in a society where being without a Man is frowned upon; a creature-half-human, half-spider-that finds love at long last in a great European city. As she examines her obsessions from multiple angles, Camilla Grudova disturbs and discomfits with her vivid stories.
Canadian, American, and British critics have compared this young writer, already a master of her art, to Angela Carter, Sheila Heti, H. P. Lovecraft, Franz Kafka, Margaret Atwood, David Cronenberg, and David Lynch.
This is undoubtedly the most original work by a Canadian writer published in 2017, a debut that clearly signals the emergence of a major new literary talent.
