About this deal

Boulder est un livre fort, très fort qui parle de solitude, d'amours saphiques et de maternité avec une prose riche et sensuelle, par une écrivaine poétesse qui possède la maîtrise des mots.

International Booker prize reveals ‘very cool and very sexy

If you like lyrical slice-of-life prose and a melancholic look at relationships, I cannot recommend Boulder enough! Le couple ainsi formé se reverra plusieurs fois, jusqu'à ce que Samsa persuade Boulder de venir habiter avec elle à Rejkiavvik. Dans cet épisode d’Effractions : le podcast, la sociologue Charlotte Debest évoque les thématiques abordées dans Boulder, d’Eva Baltasar. A novel about the beauty of love, sex and suicide, it strikes the perfect balance between passion, a dark sense of humour and tenderness. Va unida a la independencia y la soledad Es una mujer que se encuentra a gusto en la provisionalidad .Baltasar's debut novel, after ten collections of poetry, has a razor-sharp wit and an observational eye that picks apart life’s abundant absurdities.

Elle dit que je ressemble aux gros rochers solitaires du Sud de la Patagonie, des chutes du monde, en surplus, abandonnées après la création, isolées, exposées à tout vent. Escrito en clave de un monólogo interior de menos de 150 páginas, Baltasar nos permitirá profundizar en la intimidad de los pensamientos de Boulder, en donde presenciaremos una amplia gama de sentimientos conforme avance el tiempo y tanto ella como su relación con Sasha maduran y se transforman. Boulder is also rich with metaphor and simile: ‘We all incubate here in the boat’s amniotic fluid; the boat loves and nurtures us, it invites us to take another look at ourselves. With Boulder ambivalent towards children and parenting, Baltasar has written a subversion of motherhood – something we don’t often see depicted in literature or art. The title Permafrost, a manifestation of the protagonist's disdain for contemporary society and the coping mechanisms we all use to tamp down the intensity of life, is at the same time a shield and a sword.Through such intricate writing, in Julia Sanches’s voraciously readable translation, the author deftly manages to elevate the idea of a relationship to a force of nature, with the character of Boulder representing the struggle to reconcile a desire to be alone with a desire for company. Amb uns versos de Walt Whitman, Baltasar ha agraït el premi després d'un breu parlament previ de Cuixart, que, “poc abans que hagi de marxar per tornar a la cel·la”, ha volgut recordar que “aquest és el meu primer acte cultural després de 1. Desde la ilusión de los comienzos al desengaño de los finales, pasando por la incertidumbre del futuro, el tedio de la rutina y hasta la maravilla del descubrimiento, Baltasar crea un relato que destaca por la sencillez de sus hechos y la complejidad de la mente de su protagonista. Vigdis Hjorth’s Norwegian novel about a mother and child Is Mother Dead is translated by Charlotte Barslund.
