When You Read This - Mary Adkins - Bog - Hodder & Stoughton - Plusbog.dk

On his first day of work at a struggling brand management firm, an ambitious intern discovers a blog created by his predecessor, Iris Massey. Iris, he quickly learns, died a few months earlier, leaving a hole in the life of the firm's morose boss, Smith. Now, stuck at his desk all day, Carl-the-Intern - whose sky-high aspirations are thwarted only by Smith's sluggishness - gets hooked on Iris's blog, and the stories she tells about the life she left behind. Determined to share her story, Carl and Smith soon track down Iris' sister Jade, an haute cuisine chef who's been knocked sideways by her loss, finding solace only in potato chips and red wine. Smith and Jade, tied together by their mutual grief and each carrying their own baggage, end up on a collision course: with their own unresolved pasts, and also with each other. Funny and moving in equal measures, WHEN YOU READ THIS is a sparkling debut about love, life, and all the emails you really wish you'd never sent.

The Blindfold - Siri Hustvedt - Bog - Hodder & Stoughton - Plusbog.dk

The Blindfold - Siri Hustvedt - Bog - Hodder & Stoughton - Plusbog.dk

FROM THE INTERNATIONALLY BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF WHAT I LOVED ''A work of dizzying intensity . . . an intriguing and sure-handed debut '' Don DeLillo ''Brilliant . . . a dark, mesmerising debut'' Independent on Sunday ''Hustvedt has pulled off nothing less than a re-mapping of the modern feminist psyche'' Daily Telegraph Iris Vegan, a graduate student living alone and impoverished in New York, encounters four strong characters who fascinate and in different ways subordinate her: an inscrutable urban recluse who employs her to record the possessions of a murdered woman; a photographer whose eerie portrait of Iris takes on a life of its own; an old woman in hospital who tries to claim a remnant of the ailing Iris; and a professor she has an affair with. An exploration of female identity in an age when the old definitions - as some man''s daughter/wife/mother - no longer apply, fuelled with eroticism and a sense of menace. ''Attests to Hustvedt''s thoroughly original style and her lucid contemporary voice . . . the announcement of a talented writer''s arrival'' Michiko Kakutani, New York Times PRAISE FOR SIRI HUSTVEDT: ''Hustvedt is that rare artist, a writer of high intelligence, profound sensuality and a less easily definable capacity for which the only word I can find is wisdom'' Salman Rushdie ''One of our finest novelists'' Oliver Sacks ''Reading a Hustvedt novel is like consuming the best of David Lynch'' Financial Times ''Few contemporary writers are as satisfying and stimulating to read as Siri Hustvedt'' Washington Post
