Description
Surreal, ambitious and exquisitely conceived, The Doll's Alphabet is a collection of stories in the tradition of Angela Carter and Margaret Atwood.
Dolls, sewing machines, tinned foods, mirrors, malfunctioning bodies – many images recur in stories that are in turn child-like and naive, grotesque and very dark.
In ‘Unstitching’, a feminist revolution takes place.
In ‘Waxy’, a factory worker fights to keep hold of her Man in a society where it is frowned upon to be Manless.
In ‘Agata's Machine’, two schoolgirls conjure a Pierrot and an angel in a dank attic room.
In ‘Notes from a Spider’, a half-man, half-spider finds love in a great European city.
By constantly reinventing ways to engage with her obsessions and motifs, Camilla Grudova has come up with a method for storytelling that is highly imaginative, incredibly original, and absolutely discomfiting.
