Beschreibung

<p><b>'A masterpiece. It pushes the fused power of memoir and story to a new dimension' Ali Smith</b><br><br><b>A heart-rending work of autofiction from one of Norway's most prominent literary writers</b><br><br><i>'By writing down what happened, by telling the story as truthfully as I can, I'm trying to bring them together into one body - the woman from 2021 and the girl from 1983. I don't know if it can be done'</i><br><br>Paris, a winter's night in 1983. She is sixteen years old, lost in unfamiliar streets. On a scrap of paper in her pocket is the address of a photographer, K, thirty years her senior. Almost four decades later, as her life and the world around her begins to unravel, the grown woman seeks to comprehend the young girl of before.</p><p>Set in Oslo, New York and Paris, <i>Girl, 1983</i> is a genre-defying and bravura quest through layers of memory and oblivion. As in her landmark previous work, <i>Unquiet</i>, Linn Ullmann continues to probe the elegiac sway of memory as she looks for ways to disclose a long-guarded secret. A delineation of time and place over the course of a life, this remarkable novel insistently crisscrosses the path of a wayward sixteen-year-old girl lost in Paris.<br><br><i>Girl, 1983</i> is a raw and haunting exposure of beauty and forgetting, desire and shame, power and powerlessness.<br><br><b>'Ullmann's gaze on the power and pain of a teenage girl as remembered and restaged by her adult self is unflinching and startling' Deborah Levy</b></p>
