Beschreibung

Malén Denis's <em>Lithium</em> is a novel about what cannot be fully named or pinned down. "Language in this book," the author notes, "acts as a <em>pharmakon</em>-both poison and remedy-inviting the reader to navigate its ambivalence. I wrote it by following the golden thread of poetry and the echoes of psychoanalysis, letting the images lead rather than the plot." <em>Lithium</em> employs an especially potent, poetic language to convey love found and love lost (<em>I'm waiting for news from you</em>). It is a book blazing with bruised perceptions of the precarity of a life lived between jobs and between homes; it's a feverish work swinging from hope to despair, about trying drugs both prescribed and not, about migration, about cat-sitting, and about isolation, about the search for meaning and for happiness when both prove so elusive, and it is about summoning the strength to wrench oneself from indecision to action.
