Susie Boyt Libri
Susie Boyt crea narrazioni che approfondiscono le intricate relazioni tra i personaggi, esplorando temi di identità e autoscoperta. Il suo stile distintivo offre una profonda intuizione psicologica, esperta nell'illuminare la vita interiore dei suoi protagonisti. Boyt affronta la sua scrittura con una profonda comprensione dell'esperienza umana, e le sue opere spesso riflettono la natura stratificata della vita, in cui la storia personale si intreccia con una ricerca più ampia di significato. Il suo contributo letterario risiede nella sua rappresentazione sincera ma poetica dell'esistenza quotidiana.
A wonderful and startling novel about the havoc and pain, healing and love that comes with growing up in a family. Like A.L. Kennedy and Ali Smith, Susie Boyt is an exquisite writer, thoughtful and truly original.
An irresistible mixture of memoir, biography, cultural analysis, experiment and hero-worship about one person's enduring obsession. Anniversary Edition with new preface published to coincide with the new film, Judy, starring Rene Zellweger.

Janey March inhabits a world where food and love are king. Worn down by starvation diets and a series of romances that have raised and dashed her hopes, she longs for domestic bliss, and all the bread and jam she can eat, but most of all for her father, dead now ten years. Spanning one eventful weekend, The Normal Man is a delightful and acute portrait of a singular psychology. Strewn with jokes and eccentricities, and peopled with characters of questionable normality, it marks the debut of a wonderful new talent.
