Beschreibung

Shortlisted for the 2025 Republic of Consciousness Prize Indie Next Pick, September 2025 A Most Anticipated Book of 2025 from The Millions, Debutiful, Garden & Gun, Atlanta Journal-Constitution. In the vein of Rachel Cusk, Han Kang, and Clarice Lispector, Hothouse Bloom. follows a young woman who renounces her painting career and all her human relationships to become one with her late grandfather’s apple orchard. Anna arrives at the orchard with the intention to abjure social life, deverbalize her experience, and adjust her consciousness to the rhythms of the trees. She succeeds, for a time, until the arrival of her old friend Jan, nomadic and lively and at work on a book about the painter Charles Burchfield. Alarmed by her isolation and declining health, he tries to get her painting again, while Anna is determined to show him the orchard as she sees it. As the harvest approaches, the outside world descends in the form of pickers, contractors, neighbors, and pomologists. Anna realizes that the only way back to her idyllic life is to turn a profit. It becomes an obsession, much like her former in the way it consumes her, the way an apple oxidizes, might rot. Hothouse Bloom. is a millennial pastoral, both painterly and critical in its ideas about art, permaculture, subjectivity, and the natural world.
