Beschreibung

<p><b>A profound and deeply personal exploration of pain, the body and loss by the beloved author of<i> Bluets</i> and <i>The Argonauts</i></b></p><p><b>'Full of warmth, wisdom and weirdness' JENNY MUSTARD</b></p><p>This is a dreamlike portrait of a body in struggle to connect with itself and others. As the narrator contends with chronic pain, and with a pandemic raging in the background, she sets out to examine the literal and symbolic role of the mouth in the life of a writer.</p><p><i>Pathemata </i>recounts the narrator's tragicomic search to alleviate her suffering, a search that eventually becomes a reckoning with various forms of loss - the loss of intimacy, the loss of her father and the loss of a pivotal friend and mentor. In exacting, distilled prose, her account blurs the lines between embodied, unconscious and everyday life.</p><p><b>Praise for Maggie Nelson</b></p><p>'I remember where I was when I read each of Maggie Nelson's books in the same way I remember a place where I heard important news' ANNE ENRIGHT</p><p>'Always brilliant' GEOFF DYER</p><p><b>'Among the sharpest and most supple thinkers of her generation' OLIVIA LAING</b></p>
