Description
Back in print at last, two pioneering early works by Man Booker-shortlisted writer Deborah Levy.
Beautiful Mutants
Lapinski, a manipulative and magical Russian exile, summons forth a number of highly contemporary urban pilgrims. Through them, Levy explores broken dreams and self-destructive desires in a shimmering, dislocated allegory of its times.
Swallowing Geography
Like her namesake Jack Kerouac, J.K. is always on the road, travelling Europe with her typewriter in a pillowcase. From J.K.'s irreverent, ironic perspective, Levy charts a new, dizzying, end-of-the-century world of shifting boundaries and displaced peoples.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Early Levy is praised for its imaginative narrative style and evocative imagery. Critics commend Levy for crafting a vivid and powerfully unsettling world, often with a humorous and extravagant touch. Her writing is noted for its global perspective and is described as vigorous and dynamic.
