salt slow
批評家のレビュー
“Surreal, muscular stories…Fusing genres with supernatural grace, Armfield takes the discourse about inhabiting a female body to spooky, surprising places.” —Esquire (“Most Anticipated Books of Fall”)
“Immediately calls to mind the slippery short stories of Carmen Maria Machado and Angela Carter in its gothic treatment of common girlish concerns, from puberty—a girl’s skin literally molts right before she’s kissed—to boyfriends who turn to stone. It’s the kind of quiet, meticulously crafted collection that’s a sign of even greater writing to come.” —BuzzFeed (“Most Anticipated Books of Fall”)
“Unsettling, uncanny, and utterly delightful… Armfield occasionally deploys startling, stunning turns of phrase…Razor-sharp, stylish, and imaginative, Armfield’s collection is a dazzling introduction to a talented writer.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
あらすじ・解説
"Artistic and perceptive, Armfield’s debut explores the ebbs and flows of human connection in lives touched by the bizarre." - Kirkus
From White Review Short Story Prize winner Julia Armfield, a brilliant, provocative debut story collection for fans of Carmen Maria Machado and Kelly Link.
In her electrifying debut, Julia Armfield explores women’s experiences in contemporary society, mapped through their bodies. As urban dwellers’ sleeps become disassociated from them, like Peter Pan’s shadow, a city turns insomniac. A teenager entering puberty finds her body transforming in ways very different than her classmates’. As a popular band gathers momentum, the fangirls following their tour turn into something monstrous. After their parents remarry, two step-sisters, one a girl and one a wolf, develop a dangerously close bond. And in an apocalyptic landscape, a pregnant woman begins to realize that the creature in her belly is not what she expected.
Blending elements of horror, science fiction, mythology, and feminism, salt slow is an utterly original collection of short stories that are sure to dazzle and shock, heralding the arrival of a daring new voice.
Praise for salt slow:

“Armfield is an enormous, gut-wrenching talent.” — Daisy Johnson, Booker Prize-shortlisted author of Everything Under
