O knihe
“Meena Kandasamy’s vivid, sharp and precise writing makes a triumph of When I Hit You: Or, a Portrait of the Writer as a Young Wife(Atlantic)”- Guardian Seduced by politics, poetry and an enduring dream of building a better world together, the unnamed narrator falls in love with a university professor. Moving with him to a rain-washed coastal town, she swiftly learns that what for her is a bond of love is for him a contract of ownership. As he sets about reducing her to his idealised version of an obedient wife, bullying her and devouring her ambition of being a writer in the process, she attempts to push back – a resistance he resolves to break with violence and rape.-br--br- Shortlisted for the Jhalak Prize, 2018-br- Longlisted for the Dylan Thomas Prize, 2018-br- Guardian’s Best Books of 2017-br- Daily Telegraph’s Best Books of 2017-br- Observer Best Books of 2017-br- Financial Times Best Books of 2017-br-
