EXQUISITE CADAVERS
Book ID/图书代码: 03635019C00014
English Summary/英文概要: Karim, a young film-maker, carries with him the starry-eyed dreams of the Arab Revolution. Maya carries her own pressing concerns: an errant father, an unstable job, a chain-smoking habit, a sudden pregnancy. When Karim’s brother disappears in Tunis, and Karim wants to go after him, Maya must choose between her partner and her home city, her future and her history...
In a conversation between forms, fictions and truths, Exquisite Cadavers is a novel about a young couple navigating love in London, and a literary hall of mirrors about an author navigating the inspirations behind her work.

以片段为叙述方式,配以注脚穿插其中的这部小说既是一部影响深远的作品,又是一部无国界的爱情故事。(Sandy)
Awards/获奖情况:Exquisite Cadavers’ experiment delivers a book that is slyly funny and profoundly thoughtful. It is common for critics and readers to belittle women by assuming they write out of catharsis rather than to create. Exquisite Cadavers is not just a fierce rebuttal. It’s a work of brilliance., Financial Times
