Beschreibung
A blisteringly funny and transcendently deranged debut novel for fans of Ottessa Moshfegh, Patricia Lockwood and George Saunders. 'Obscenely good and very funny' CATHERINE LACEY'A startling fever dream of a novel' LUCY ROSE'So smart, weird and eerie. 'I recommend everyone buy it when it comes out' MADELINE CASH. In Offseason. , our fiercely observant but self-deluded narrator finds herself teaching at an all-girls boarding school in a remote coastal town. In between manic lectures that veer from Charles Dickens's Bleak House. to the childhood maltreatment of her beloved Iosif Stalin and the generational legacy of the Holocaust, she implicates everyone she meets in her quest to pin down where exactly her own life went wrong. Blisteringly funny and transcendently deranged, Offseason. marks the arrival of a wild new literary talent. 'Indescribably brilliant. You've never read anything like it' ELIZABETH McCRACKEN. 'A bonkers and beautifully written novel. Absorbing and original' NUSSAIBAH YOUNIS. 'Yes, Offseason. is hilarious, eccentric and gleefully mean-spirited, but just when you think you know what Sharp is doing, she will shatter your heart. I haven't read something so incisive, so slyly tender in years' LISA McINERNEY. 'A narrator who makes the familiar strange and the strange familiar' MICHAEL CHABON.
