"As intriguing and impressive a novelist as she is a musician, Hval is a master of quiet horror and wonder." Chris Kraus, author of I Love Dick Jo is in a strange new country for university and having a more peculiar time than most. A house with no walls, a roommate with no boundaries, and a home that seems ever more alive as the days pass. Jo's sensitivity and all her senses become increasingly heightened and fraught as the lines between bodies and plants, dreaming and wakefulness, blur and mesh. This debut novel from a critically adored artist and musician presents a heady and hypersensual portrayal of sexual awakening and queer desire.
The instant cult classic from the incomparable Jenny Hval
Norwegian musician and writer JENNY HVAL has honed an intellectual and uncompromising view of politics and sexuality in her prose as well as in records that include Blood Bitch, Apocalypse, Girl and Classic Objects as well as her acclaimed second novel, Girls against God.
