Descriere magazin:
A previously unpublished novel of the reflections of a deeply scarred and reclusive woman, from the cult icon
Katherine Dunn, the author of Geek Love . Sally Gunnar has withdrawn from the world. She spends her days alone at home, reading drugstore mysteries, polishing the doorknobs, waxing the floors. Her only companions are a vase of goldfish, a garden toad, and the door-to-door salesman who sells her cleaning supplies once a month. She broods over her deepest regrets: her blighted romances with self-important men, her lifelong struggle to feel at home in her own body, and her wayward early twenties, when she was a fish out of water among a group of eccentric, privileged young people at a liberal arts college. There was Sam, an unabashed collector of other people\'s stories; Carlotta, a troubled free spirit; and Rennel, a self-obsessed philosophy student. Self-deprecating and sardonic, Sally recounts their misadventures, up to the tragedy that tore them apart. Colorful, crass, and profound,
Toad is
Katherine Dunn\'s ode to her time as a student at Reed College in the late 1960s. It is filled with the same mordant observations about the darkest aspects of human nature that made Geek Love a cult classic and
Dunn a misfit hero. Daring and bizarre,
Toad demonstrates her genius for black humor and her ecstatic celebration of the grotesque. Fifty-some years after it was written,
Toad is a timely story about the ravages of womanhood and a powerful addition to the canon of feminist fiction.
