Description
Paradise Rot by Jenny Hval follows Jo, who finds herself in a strange new country for university, experiencing a more peculiar time than most.
In a house with no walls, shared with a woman who has no boundaries, Jo discovers her odd home coming to life in unimaginable ways. Her sensitivity and senses become increasingly heightened and fraught, as the lines between bodies and plants, dreaming and wakefulness, blur and mesh.
This debut novel from critically acclaimed artist and musician Jenny Hval presents a heady and hyper-sensual portrayal of sexual awakening and queer desire.
