SIRI HUSTVEDT - GEBRAUCHT THE BLINDFOLD - PREIS...

FROM THE INTERNATIONALLY BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF WHAT I LOVED    WITH A NEW INTRODUCTION BY
CATHERINE LACEY   'A work of dizzying intensity . . . an intriguing and sure-handed debut ' Don
DeLillo    'Brilliant . . . a dark  mesmerising debut' Independent on Sunday    'Hustvedt has
pulled off nothing less than a re-mapping of the modern feminist psyche' Daily Telegraph   Iris
Vegan  a graduate student living alone and impoverished in New York  encounters four strong
characters who fascinate and in different ways subordinate her: an inscrutable urban recluse
who employs her to record the possessions of a murdered woman  a photographer whose eerie
portrait of Iris takes on a life of its own  an old woman in hospital who tries to claim a
remnant of the ailing Iris  and a professor she has an affair with. An exploration of female
identity in an age when the old definitions - as some man's daughter wife mother - no longer
apply  fuelled with eroticism and a sense of menace.   'Attests to Hustvedt's thoroughly
original style and her lucid contemporary voice . . . the announcement of a talented writer's
arrival' Michiko Kakutani  New York Times   PRAISE FOR SIRI HUSTVEDT:    'Hustvedt is that rare
artist  a writer of high intelligence  profound sensuality and a less easily definable capacity
for which the only word I can find is wisdom' Salman Rushdie    'One of our finest novelists'
Oliver Sacks    'Reading a Hustvedt novel is like consuming the best of David Lynch' Financial
Times    'Few contemporary writers are as satisfying and stimulating to read as Siri Hustvedt'
Washington Post
