このコンテンツについて
"Equal parts mischievous, moony, and tart...Her prose offers, in a single page, poetic candor, sly wit, dad jokes, and contemporary therapyspeak."― The New Yorker
“Her weirdest and funniest yet—in the best way possible.”―Los Angeles Times
"Audacious, incisive and very funny."―Daily Mail
A masterful story that asks: What if the different sides of your personality had trust issues with each other?
New Day, New You!
Kinga is a woman who is just trying to make it through the week. There’s a Kinga for every day: On Mondays, you can catch Kinga-A deleting food delivery apps. By Friday, Kinga-E is happy to spend the days soaking, wine-drunk, in the bath.
Kingas A-G, perhaps unsurprisingly, live a varied life—between them is a professional matchmaker, a scent-crazed perfumer, and a window cleaner, all with varying degrees of apathy, anger, introversion, and bossiness. At least three of them are Team Toxic.
It’s an arrangement that’s not without its fair share of admin, grudges, and half-truths. But when Kinga-A discovers a man tied up in their apartment, the Kingas have to reckon with the possibility that one of them might be planning to destroy them all.
How many versions of oneself can one self safely contain?

“[Oyeyemi] imbues her books with wit, delight and an endearing matter-of-factness in the face of the world’s absurdity and cruelty. This complex harmony is essential to Oyeyemi’s success. . . . Enchanting. . . . [with] a climax worthy of Lewis Carroll. . . . A New New Me is in conversation with, among others, the great 20th-century satirists of the Czech Republic and Poland. . . . Oyeyemi ultimately asks the (now sadly provocative) question: Aren’t we all actually in the same boat?”—The New York Times
“[Oyeyemi is] a writer whose style is equal parts mischievous, moony, and tart. . . . If the self-help cant of the title seems to glitch or stutter, the book’s contents shimmer with the same strangeness. . . . Oyeyemi’s prose is propelled by a subtle animism; her sentences sometimes seem to contain the whole book in miniature. . . . If Butler’s The New Me lampooned the self-improvement industry, Oyeyemi's A New New Me pushes the logic of perpetual upgrades to the point that self-help is indistinguishable from self-erasure. . . . Some novels insist on being read as prescriptions for living; Oyeyemi’s simply depicts a process: one splinter of a soul briefly gains control of a body, and goes out to be engulfed by the world.”—The New Yorker
“A surrealist romp. . . . Oyeyemi offers us an existential farce that wrestles with what it means to reconcile all the pieces of yourself, especially when they're in constant disagreement about how best to live a life.”—Kirkus Reviews
