Praise for Ia Genberg:
‘Miraculous’ – Hernan Diaz, author of Trust
‘I wish I could write like this’ - Fredrik Backman, author of A Man Called Ove
‘Mesmerizing and hot to the touch’ – Catherine Lacey, New York Times
'You know, love is love,’ he says. ‘But what about the revolution?’ Intricately built and wickedly humorous, these five interconnected short stories are all about one thing: money. From an interview with a child-star-turned-thief to the mysterious death of an employee at a drug manufacturer - or the couple feigning marital bliss to keep their inheritance, Ia Genberg carefully unravels the value we place on both money and people.
What does it really mean to be in debt to someone? How does our financial worth permeate the ways we think and feel? And what do we lose when we supposedly win? A brilliantly original and thought-provoking collection from the author and translator of The Details, shortlisted for the 2024 International Booker Prize.
