Is Mother Dead
Vigdis Hjorth
One thing I particularly like about Is Mother Dead (by Vigdis Hjorth, tr. Charlotte Barslund) is the way it gradually turns the protagonist unsympathetic without ever changing the tone of her narration. #InternationalBooker2023 @TheBookerPrizes @VersoBooks https://t.co/VMueSCjnmS
