Belletristik / Gegenwartsliteratur (ab 1945)
Description
'Supplication is as visceral and gripping as an actual nightmare, but also teeming with wisdom about selfhood and trauma.' Ainslie Hogarth, author of Motherthing'A highly sophisticated philosophical exploration of identity propelled by a surreal sense of the interconnectedness of random events. Kerry Hadley-Pryce, author of God's Country'There, within the suddenness of the unending present, I was born.'An unnamed narrator comes to in a basement, tied to a chair, a man looming over her. Someone has a knife. She emerges from her captivity into a mysterious and nightmarish city, searching for meaning in her new reality. As figures emerge from the night, some offering sanctuary, and others judgement, she moves through a fever-dream narrative of alienation, fear, and the quest for respite. Nour Abi-Nakhoul's powerful debut novel, Supplication, is a hallucinatory literary horror set deep in the consciousness of a woman exploring a changed and frightening world.
