Topics of Conversation
あらすじ・解説
A compact tour de force about sex, violence, and self-loathing from a ferociously talented new voice in fiction, perfect for fans of Sally Rooney, Rachel Cusk, Lydia Davis, and Jenny Offill.
“Shrewd and sensual, Popkey's debut carries the scintillating charge of a long-overdue girls' night." (O, The Oprah Magazine)
A Best Book of the Year by Time, Esquire, Real Simple, Marie Claire, Glamour, Bustle, and more.
Composed almost exclusively of conversations between women - the stories they tell each other and the stories they tell themselves - Topics of Conversation careens through 20 years in the life of an unnamed narrator hungry for experience and bent on upending her life. In exchanges about shame and love, infidelity and self-sabotage, Popkey touches upon desire, disgust, motherhood, loneliness, art, pain, feminism, anger, envy, and guilt. Edgy, wry, and written in language that sizzles with intelligence and eroticism, this novel introduces an audacious and immensely gifted new novelist.
批評家のレビュー
"Sally Rooney-esque...Popkey's sentences careen breathlessly as her halting, staccato prose mirrors the 'churning' within the narrator's mind.... Her manner of parceling out information evoke at times the fragmentary and diaristic sensibilities of Jenny Offill's Dept. of Speculation...a shrewd record of the act of unflinchingly circling these amorphous notions of pain, desire and control." (The New York Times Book Review)
"Slim but potent...has the flavor of Rachel Cusk...provocative...sure to spark conversation." (NPR)
"As she explores her own history through a shifting lens of female rivalries and friendships, the book's surface coolness begins to peel away, revealing the raw, uncommon nerve of a radically honest storyteller." (Entertainment Weekly)
