HOURGLASS - KEIRAN GODDARD GEBUNDEN

'A universal love story' Guardian'Beautiful and very funny' Brett Anderson'This book glows in
the heart of the reader' Max Porter'This book is such a sneaky head f*ck - an epic poem in an
ancient style about the brutalities of modern love  a masculine interrogation of feminine
heartbreak  a really beautiful way to spend an evening' Lena DunhamThe second time you came  we
went from bar to bar to bar. It made the city feel smaller. Like a map we were folding to the
size of a stamp. We were good at that. We could have fit an entire universe inside a matchbox.
Love builds up little by little and that's why it makes people reach for words like root and
sediment and other words to do with rocks and trees. But what about the dismantling? Does it
happen that way too? Because it feels like it is happening much  much faster. And I am reaching
for words like landslide and like wave and like storm ...Exquisitely crafted  wildly
imaginative and as darkly funny as it is moving  Hourglass is a revolutionary love story. It
turns time upside down  combs the intimate wreckage of heartbreak for something universal  and
asks what it means to lose what you love.'Hourglass will stay with me for a long time.
Hypnotic' Lemn Sissay'Evocative  ecstatic and saturated with off-kilter wit' Alexandra Kleeman
