Ann Quin

The much-anticipated republication of Ann Quin's masterpiece of post-war British fiction: caustic, thrilling, unforgettable.

Berg

jess

an absurdist portraiture: its Oedipal theme unfolds like a twisted theatrical performance. Berg changed his name to Greb in intention to kill his father: absurd, absurd. anarchic in a way it disrupts narration, with the post-war avant-garde prose back in 60s deconstruction movement. heady, in a way the narrative cease to come in elucidation of existential unease that permeates the story, of the father-son dynamic, Judith the divorcee in between, and the mother who alas, in delusion of relentlessly loving them both. does Berg actually hate or love his father? or the combination of both perhaps, allows the deliverance and necessity of murdering him? at some moment it's so intense, at some, it's beyond comprehensible. odd, weird, ludicrous, yet the language fails to be boring, always dynamic, vivid, and thrilling.
