ナレーター：
A lyrical and visceral short story collection, The Body of the Thing unpicks the hierarchies that thrum under our relationships, from first loves and lusts to motherhood and miscarriages, from sexual awakenings to final confrontations with death.
Traversing bougie neighborhoods in Manhattan, sun-drenched piazzas in Italy, coastal Maine, and the bustle of London, these stories chase the fallout when women’s bodies are valued for their beauty and youth, dismissed and discarded when ill, or made useful as parents and caregivers. Fluid, sensual, and fearless, The Body of the Thing is about looking at and living in the female body—and all of its complicated realities and wonders.
©2026 Karishma Jobanputra (P)2026 Blackstone Publishing批評家のレビュー
“Reading Karishma Jobanputra’s The Body of the Thing feels like driving on a highway by the ocean, with the windows down and the salt wind coming through: visceral, electric, alive, full of the full-throated song and hurtling velocity of youth itself, in all its frenzy and surrender and ache and mistakes and yearning.”
“Arresting, beautiful, humorous, observant, serious, all at the same time.”
“Karishma pulls off a rare trick. Her strange world is incredibly compelling. Her cityscape is undefined and yet familiar, its people hover within seeking ever elusive connection”
“These stories are contemporary portraits of life across continents. Jobanputra’s careful prose depicts all the anxiety and claustrophobia of being alive. I can’t remember the last time I read a collection so compulsively.”
“Heady and visceral, sharp and intoxicating, these absorbing stories portray human desires, appetites and obsessions in all their unruly beauty. Karishma Jobanputra is a bold and gifted writer—one to celebrate and one to watch.”
