Anna Aemelin har gjort sig en förmögenhet på barnboksillustrationer. Katri Kling lever ett asketiskt liv tillsammans med sin lillebror och en varglik hund. De två kvinnornas liv sammanflätas i en mörk tvekamp där bådas föreställningar om sig själva ställs på ända. Vem är det egentligen som bedrar vem?När romanen utkom i engelsk översättning år 2009 möttes den av hyllande recensioner. Tove Janssons prosa är glasklar, rak och exakt. | We have this book in our store house - please allow for a couple of extra days for delivery.

Straight, tight and clean with no wear or markings in bright, pictorial card covers, no dustjacket as issued. The pieces in this collection, written between 1956 and 1961 and including short fiction, a radio play, and a stunning early novel, offer startling insights into Cohens imagination and creative process. Cohen explores themes that would permeate his later work, from shame and unworthiness to sexual desire in all its sacred and profane dimensions to longing, whether for love, family, freedom, or transcendence.
