Böcker av Lidia Yuknavitch

A fiercely provocative novel, exploring the treacherous borders between war and sex, love and art, from the author of The Book of Joan and The Chronology of Water

Laisve is a refugee in a destroyed city-island, hunted in Raids and haunted by the spirits of her drowned mother and brother. She dives into the river and finds herself travelling between times and waterways that connect her with people from the past and future. Among them, a group of workers constructing a monument to freedom for a young and bustling nation. But exactly what - and whom - will that liberty represent?

A contemporary coming-of-age story based on Freud's famous case study from the internationally bestselling author of The Book of Joan. Introduced by Chuck Palahniuk

Allegories of Violence demilitarizes the concept of war and asks what would happen if we understood war as discursive via late 20th century novels of war.

Internationally bestselling author Lidia Yuknavitch offers a vision of our near-extinction and a re-imagined Joan of Arc poised to save a world ravaged by war, in this genre-defying masterpiece

By reclaiming and celebrating the word 'misfit', Lidia Yuknavitch makes a powerful case for not fitting in - for recognising the beauty, and difficulty, in forging an original path. Perfect for fans of Brene Brown's Daring Greatly and Elizabeth Gilbert's Big Magic.
