Bøger af Gail Scott

This book is a project of transparency. These printed words are a culmination of life experiences that have been buried inside of me for years. It tells the story of "Gail" and where I came from. What road was I going down, with no one to teach me right from wrong or good from bad? This story is the height and depth of a young girl's life, and how she endured pain and suffering at the hands of her mother and men in her life. It epitomizes the struggle of living with children as a single parent without any support. It is how I endured and came forth victorious. Prayerfully, these words will inspire someone and encourage others to press on and endure another day to higher heights. The primary goal for my story is to show how they, too, can overcome any adversities and obstacles that may come their way, just as I have.

Casting light and shadow, looking backwards and forwards, My Paris is a hynotizing tale of desire and nostalgia, magically submerging the reader in the endless—and not always seamless—sensuality of the City of Light. In My Paris, a Canadian woman keeps an extraordinary journal of her time in a Parisian studio. Not a typical tourist, she prefers indoor spaces, seeing Paris go by on TV or watching from her window the ever-changing displays of men's designer clothing across the boulevard. Or she roams the streets, caught between nostalgia and a competing sense of the present day, between Paris's rich cultural traditions and the realities of Western imperialism. Disillusioned by her inability to reconcile these contradictions and by her own part in perpetuating them, she assembles in her journal pieces of the present, past, of art, philosophy, of herself, and of the world outside her.

"A book of prose by Gail Scott chronicling her years in Lower Manhattan during the Obama era in a community of poets at the junction between formally radical and political art"--

Finalist for the 2021 Grand Prix du livre de Montreal"A writer may do as she pleases with her epoch. Rage accumulates." From iconic feminist writer Gail Scott comes Permanent Revolution, a collection of new essays gathered alongside a recreation of her groundbreaking text, Spaces Like Stairs. In conversation with other writers working in queer/feminist avant-garde trajectories, including l'écriture-au-féminin in Québec and continental New Narrative, these essays provide an evolutionary snapshot of Scott's ongoing prose experiment that hinges the matter of writing to ongoing social upheaval. Scott herself points to the heart of this book, writing, "Where there is no emergency, there is likely no real experiment."With a Foreword by Zoe Whittall and an Afterword by Margaret Christakos.

A classic feminist novel for a new generation, resonating in a world of increasing radicalization.

The portrait of a woman facing the end of the century and creating a history of the present.

A haunting new novel from the author of My Paris
