Paperback. Uncanny, hyper-distilled new stories by the inimitable Fleur Jaeggy. A wife is suspended in a birdcage; a 13th-century visionary senses the foreskin of Christ on her tongue: Fleur Jaeggy's gothic imagination knows no limits. Whether telling of mystics, tormented families or famously private writers, Jaeggy's terse, telegraphic writing is always psychologically clear-eyed and deeply moving, always one step ahead, or to the side, of her readers' expectations. Num Pages: 112 pages. BIC Classification: FY. .
