A man sets about renovating the house of his childhood, and starts to feel that he might be rebuilding his own life in the process. At a private clinic to treat the morbidly obese, a caregiver has issues of her own.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese are stories of immigration, marginality, history, intimacy, and obsession. They each present their own distinctive view of the world through the lives of their respective characters – who are as dissimilar as they are complex – and the profound transformations they undergo. As reflections on the uncontrollable nature of life, as depictions of how even the most innocent detail can become a threat, these stories do not offer neat endings but rather remain open to the readers sense of inquisitiveness. Southerly is a perfect introduction to what has been called ‘the Consiglian logic of story-telling,’ in which events do not always occur sequentially, and where the reader quickly learns to tiptoe between the tiniest of details, as if walking through a minefield.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 184g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 130 x 198 x 13 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781913867577\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: Second edition with new material\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jorge Consiglio","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44265443623162,"sku":"9781913867577","price":8.56,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1684510646042_book.jpg?v=1685791822","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/southerly-9781913867577","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
