Krátky popis
'This book left me stunned. Breathtaking in its scope and
generosity . .. We are in the midst of a transcendent talent.'
Maaza Mengiste, author of the Booker Prize-shortlisted The Shadow
King 'Rapturous . .. [Horn] is the mystic's David Attenborough.'
New York Times Book ReviewLars Horn's Voice of the Fish, winner of
the Graywolf Press Nonfiction Prize, is a kaleidoscopic,
hallucinatory memoir that explores the trans experience through
meditations upon aquatic life and mythology, set against the
backdrop of travels in Russia and a debilitating injury that left
Horn temporarily unable to speak, read and write. In their adept
hands, these poignant, allusive shards take shape as a unified
whole: short vignettes about fish, reliquaries and antiquities
serve as interludes between - and subtle reflections upon - longer
memories of their life, knitting together a sinuous, wave-like form
that flows across the book.Horn swims through a range of subjects,
across marine history, theology, questions of the body and gender,
sexuality, transmasculinity and illness. From their childhood
modelling for their mother's art installations - immersed in a bath
with dead squid, encased in a full-body plaster cast - to their
travels before they were out as trans, these beguiling fragments
are linked by a desire to interrogate the physical, and to identify
the current beneath. Horn re-examines presumptions about the body,
privileging instead ways of seeing and being that resist binaries,
ways that falter, fracture, mutate.Sensuous and immersive, Voice of
the Fish is unique: a masterful and moving achievement.
