Beschreibung
Her name is not Nina, but that's the name she uses sometimes. At her local bar, in the carpark with her tricks, when she needs to score.
She doesn't really need the money. But it lays bare the truth of each loveless transaction. Still living at home, each chance encounter is a route to escape the tedium of her sheltered, suburban existence. One day a man takes her home to meet his beautiful, unhappy wife, Ingrid. She knows she should leave, but instead becomes drawn ever deeper into their games, her suspicions of the terrible secrets they keep mounting with each visit. Caught in a web of fear, intrigue and desire, she will end up in more trouble than she ever bargained for.
Told with perfect restraint and the iciest detachment, Notice is the sickeningly addictive story of a woman on the edge, who does not know how much further yet she could fall. A stark, relentless exploration of power and pursuit, this provocative cult classic will lead you on an unforgettable journey into pitch darkness.
Rezensionen
Lewis is an enormously compelling writer: astute, risky, and unapologetic ... hauntingly sad in its portrayal of a lonely soul tittering on the edge of emotional oblivion.
A difficult yet necessary read, a brutal book of the most bitter truths
A blistering and disturbing work. Rigorously deviant, technically merciless, to read it is almost an act of physical exertion, the effect viscerally stunning like a gut-punch
Lewis's language is stripped to the bone ... Searing, graphic and not for the faint of heart, Lewis'
Heather Lewis writes in a tone wry and under-modified. The language is stinging in its precision, sensual in its awareness of hot and cold, its relentless physical registration
An irreducible text, unforgettable, nearly unbearable, but never unbelievable or self-indulgent
Heather Lewis has written this novel with a power and pain almost unbearable, like some freak-ass despondent Jesus nailing herself to the cross again and again. This novel is tragic, horrifying, and a triumph
