"There was a night when I was still lying in the bed of my mistress. Yes, I remember it. She wakes with a start, sits up, looks out. Others in the surrounding houses of the town, wake in the same manner. They don't know why. They are possessed by such a strange feeling. I observe them. I hear their thoughts. There's something not right, something awry. The salty air - as if the sea has flooded into their rooms. They don't know it yet, but still they sense it. The Earth turns slowly into modernity. And in the space of an imperceptible moment, the old world has succumbed conclusively to the new."

from The Wax Child by #OlgaRavn (2023)

Ich fand ja den weirden #ScienceFiction«-Roman »Die Angestellten. Ein Roman über Arbeit im 21. Jahrhundert« (2018; Dt. 2022 #MärzVerlag ) von #OlgaRavn schon doll.
Freut mich, dass die Autorin weiter auf #AnderePhantastik-Pfaden unterwegs ist, in Richtung Frühneuzeit (also #Fantasy) und #Horror.

Freu! Kommt auch im #PhantFeuille gut an.

Em 2014, participei de um Clube de Leitura no FB e foi uma experiência bem legal. À época, lemos: Wilde, Gaiman, King entre outros.

Finally finished “Mit arbejde”/“My work” by Olga Ravn today. An incredible, genre bending book, which describes the process of becoming a mother in a way that resonates with me at a primal level. The way she describes the struggle of making space for her work as a writer while being in the all-encompassing state of motherhood was so recognizable and made me have to lie down and just think about it for a while. Highly recommended.

It’s London run came to an end yesterday. But if you get a chance to see Łukasz Twarkowski’s The Employees at some point, take it.

It’s different from the experimental sci-fi novel by Olga Ravn it’s inspired by. More of a stunning work of art in its own right, combining immersive theatre, video art, sci-fi literature, film and dance.
