No & Other Love Stories - Kirsty Logan - książka
Producent: Harvill Secker
A captivating anthology of love stories that explores the darker sides of passion, written by the acclaimed author of "Now She Is Witch." Can a refusal be an act of affection? What unfolds when love turns wild, perilous, and all-consuming? This beautiful and thought-provoking collection takes you on a journey through the intricacies and harsh realities of desire, spanning from a medieval convent to a Victorian sitting room and a high school in the 1990s. In one of the tales, a pregnant woman finds herself feeding raw meat to a wasp's nest. Elsewhere, two sapphic lovers use ghostly possession to swindle money from unscrupulous men. During wartime in London, a woman discovers that her affection for her husband intensifies after his passing. Meanwhile, a teenage girl becomes enamored with a bloodthirsty succubus. Rich in atmosphere, surprisingly witty, and intensely dark, this collection is a testament to the author’s masterful storytelling. Reflecting on human connections with a gothic flair, each story offers an engaging narrative, peppered with both horror and humor. The work has received high praise for its uniqueness and boldness, cementing Kirsty Logan's place as an extraordinary figure in contemporary literature. Recognized by Val McDermid in 2019 as an outstanding LGBTQ writer, Logan's work captivates with its originality and depth.
