Stunning. Dazzlingly laser-like and movingly original. Lara Feigel.


I inventive and searching. Calvin Bedient.


I am awestruck. A masterpiece. Mary Gordon.


The stunningly original exploration of pregnancy and childbirth by the acclaimed author of Citizen.


In this, the landmark achievement that crowned the first phase of her writing career, Claudia Rankine invites us into the lives of Liv and her husband Erland, as they find themselves propelled into the classic plot: boy loves girl, girl gets pregnant.


The couple's journey is charted through dreams, conversations, and reflections, in a text like no other, deftly moulding language and crossing genres to arrive at new life: baby Ersatz.


Plot is an inventive and engrossing meditation on pregnancy and the changes it heralds: the potential bodily cost, the loss of self, the sense of impending stasis. Each fear compounds Liv's reluctance to bring new life into a bewildering world. A profoundly daring collection, it explodes the emotive capabilities of language and form to achieve an unparalleled understanding of creation and existence.
