Krátky popis
'Sorrowland is a wonderland of fantastical and frightening, magical
and real. At the centre of this world and leaping off the page is
Vern: unstoppable, unforgettable, and unlike anyone you have ever
seen before.' MARLON JAMES, Booker Prize-winning author'A
fantastical, fierce reckoning ... Sorrowland is gorgeous, and the
writing, the storytelling, are magnificent.This country has a dark
history of what it's willing to do to black bodies, and Rivers
Solomon lays that truth bare in a most unexpected, absolutely
brilliant way.' ROXANE GAY__________________________Vern, a Black
woman with albinism, is hunted after escaping a religious compound,
then she discovers that her body is changing and that she is
developing extra-sensory powers.Alone in the woods, she gives birth
to twins and raises them away from the influence of the outside
world. But something is wrong - not with them, but with her own
body. It's itching, it's stronger, it's...not normal.To understand
her body's metamorphosis, Vern must investigate not just the
secluded religious compound she fled but the violent history of
dehumanisation, medical experimentation, and genocide that produced
it. In the course of reclaiming her own darkness, Vern learns that
monsters aren't just individuals, but entire histories, systems,
and nations.
