Descriere magazin:
FINALIST FOR THE CENTER FOR FICTION\'S FIRST NOVEL PRIZE Cain\'s small but mighty novel reads like a ghost story and packs the punch of a feminist classic. -- The New York Times Book Review A haunted feminist fable, Amina Cain \'s Indelicacy is the story of a woman navigating between gender and class roles to empower herself and fulfill her dreams. In a strangely ageless world somewhere between Emily Dickinson and David Lynch (Blake Butler), a cleaning woman at a museum of art nurtures aspirations to do more than simply dust the paintings around her. She dreams of having the liberty to explore them in writing, and so must find a way to win herself the time and security to use her mind. She escapes her lot by marrying a rich man, but having gained a husband, a house, high society, and a maid, she finds that her new life of privilege is no less constrained. Not only has she taken up different forms of time-consuming labor--social and erotic--but she is now, however passively, forcing other women to clean up after her . Perhaps another and more drastic solution is necessary? Reminiscent of a lost Victorian classic in miniature, yet taking equal inspiration from such modern authors as Jean Rhys, Octavia Butler, Clarice Lispector, and Jean Genet, Amina Cain \'s Indelicacy is at once a ghost story without a ghost, a fable without a moral, and a down-to-earth investigation of the barriers faced by women in both life and literature. It is a novel about seeing, class, desire, anxiety, pleasure, friendship, and the battle to find one\'s true calling. About author(s): Amina Cain is the author of a novel, Indelicacy , and the short story collections Creature and I Go To Some Hollow . Her essays and short stories have appeared in The Paris Review Daily , BOMB , Granta , n+1 , the Believer Logger , and other places. She lives in Los Angeles.
