Boulder / Eva Baltasar ; translated by Julia Sanches. - Sheffield ; London ; New York : And Other Stories, 2022. - 105, [4] strony ; 20 cm.
Książka w języku angielskim. Poet and novelist Baltasar returns with a sinewy if somewhat predictable story about a tempestuous relationship between two women... Working as a cook on a merchant ship, a woman comes to know and love Samsa, a woman who gives her the nickname ‘Boulder’. When Samsa gets a job in Reykjavik and the couple decides to move there together, Samsa decides that she wants to have a child. She is already forty and can’t bear to let the opportunity pass her by. Boulder is less enthused, but doesn’t know how to say no – and so finds herself dragged along on a journey that feels as thankless as it is alien. With motherhood changing Samsa into a stranger, Boulder must decide where her priorities lie, and whether her yearning for freedom can truly trump her yearning for love. Once again, Eva Baltasar demonstrates her pre-eminence as a chronicler of queer voices navigating a hostile world – and in prose as brittle and beautiful as an ancient saga.
