lessons in quietude with dorthe nors
|
|
Dorthe Nors has been a Pushkin fan favourite
for many years, with titles such as Karate Chop, Minna
Needs Rehearsal Space and the Man Booker International shortlisted
Mirror, Shoulder, Signal.
Now she returns with the short story collection, WILD SWIMS, a
collection resplendent with longing. Painted intricately with Nors'
signature, spare style, these stories are teaming with emotion. The
perfect diverting read for these unsure times.
Here's a taste of what's inside...
From THE FAIRGROUND:
I must have been sick, she thinks. The thought occurs to her now and
then, even though it was a case of love, just not the love she’d been
promised as a child. Back then, she’d imagined that love was just like
running through a sprinkler. It tickled, you laughed and felt silly and
beautiful at the same time. You were charming and adorable and wove
flowers in the wire mesh of the rabbit hutch and won praise for it. No
matter what you did, the chosen one would think you were amazing. The
happiness was as sweet as peppermint, and it endured. You were
extraordinarily dear, and it was the other person’s job to make sure
everything ended well by not being able to resist the sweetness.
"Solitude
– and the ability to be with yourself and be open to the life that you
carry with you is important to all people, I think"
You can find out more about Dorthe in her interview with
editor and deputy publisher, Laura Macaulay, where the two talk
isolation, memory and writing stories that transcend boundaries of
language and location.
