Äiti ja tytär ovat saapuneet pieneen espanjalaiskylään Välimeren rannalla. Rose-äitiä vaivaa mystinen sairaus, jota he ovat tulleet hoidattamaan tohtori Gomezin hieman hämäräperäiselle klinikalle. Tytär Sofia ei pysty irrottautumaan äidin luulosairauden, neuroosien ja liikuntakyvyttömyyden vankilasta.Tulikuuman auringon alla naisten elämät tirisevät katkeruutta ja molemminpuolista turhautumista. Sofia rimpuilee irti äidin lamaannuttavasta taikapiiristä tutustuen omaan seksuaalisuuteensa ja itseensä.Leikkisän surrealistisessa romaanissa äidin ja tyttären näennäisen staattinen mutta ristiriitainen suhde rinnastuu jähmeään ja pysähtyneeseen, hyvinvoivaan Eurooppaan rajun muutoksen kynnyksellä. Vuonna 2016 ilmestyneessä romaanissa on tyyntä kuin trooppisen myrskyn edellä.Viihdyttävä ja helppolukuinen. Mutta myös outo. Outous - kiinnostava outous, vaikeasti määriteltävä outous - tekee tästä romaanista merkittävän. Financial Times

On vuosi 1988, ja nuori itseriittoinen historioitsija nimeltä Saul Adler on kutsuttu Itä-Berliiniin tekemään tutkimusta. Ennen lähtöä Saulin tyttöystävän on tarkoitus ottaa hänestä valokuva ylittämässä Abbey Roadia, katua, jota The Beatlesin jäsenet ylittävät kuuluisassa levynkansikuvassaan. Valokuva on tuliainen Saulin saksalaisen tulkin siskolle, joka fanittaa Beatlesia.Abbey Roadilla Saul tulee auton töytäisemäksi. Auton kuljettaja on saksalainen mies, ja tällä on kädessään suorakulmainen esine, josta kuuluu puhetta. Tästä hetkestä alkaen kummalliset tapahtumat alkavat keriytyä auki, ja selviää, ettei mikään ole sitä miltä näyttää. Historia on sisällämme ja tulevaisuus on jo täällä. Mies joka näki kaiken on mestarillisesti rakennettu, koukuttava romaani. Se käsittelee vaikeutta nähdä itsemme ja toiset selvästi, yksilön vastuuta, itsekkyyttä ja rajojen hälvenemistä. Levy kutoo tunnusomaisella vaivattomuudella toistuvien motiivien ja symbolien verkoston, joka on upottava, hämmentävä ja loputtoman kiehtova.

Kuuluisan englantilaisrunoilijan perheloma Ranskassa keskeytyy, kun huvilan uima-altaassa eräänä päivänä kelluu punatukkainen tyttö. Kukaan ei ymmärrä, miksi runoilijan vaimo kutsuu tytön perheen vieraaksi. Linnunluinen vieras änkyttää tarkkoja huomioita lomailijoista, eikä salaisuuksia voi pitää enää edes itseltään.Unenomaisessa pienoisromaanissa liikutaan Nizzan kuumalla rantabulevardilla ja kiemurtelevilla vuoristoteillä. Ikkunaluukut suljetaan myrskyn tieltä, mutta surua eivät mitkään luukut pidä loitolla.

A New York Times Notable Book of the Year and Man Booker Prize finalist, Hot Milk moves "gracefully among pathos, danger, and humor" (The New York Times), now a major motion picture starring Fiona Shaw, Emma Mackey, and Vicky Krieps. I have been sleuthing my mother's symptoms for as long as I can remember. If I see myself as an unwilling detective with a desire for justice, is her illness an unsolved crime? If so, who is the villain and who is the victim? Sofia, a young anthropologist, has spent much of her life trying to solve the mystery of her mother's unexplainable illness. She is frustrated with Rose and her constant complaints, but utterly relieved to be called to abandon her own disappointing fledgling adult life. She and her mother travel to the searing, arid coast of southern Spain to see a famous consultant--their very last chance--in the hope that he might cure her unpredictable limb paralysis. But Dr. Gomez has strange methods that seem to have little to do with physical medicine, and as the treatment progresses, Sofia's mother's illness becomes increasingly baffling. Sofia's role as detective--tracking her mother's symptoms in an attempt to find the secret motivation for her pain--deepens as she discovers her own desires in this transient desert community. Hot Milk is a profound exploration of the sting of sexuality, of unspoken female rage, of myth and modernity, the lure of hypochondria and big pharma, and, above all, the value of experimenting with life; of being curious, bewildered, and vitally alive to the world.

Longlisted for the Booker Prize A New York Times Editor's Choice Named a Best Book of the Year By: The New York Times Book Review (Notable Books of the Year) * The New York Public Library * The Washington Post * Time.com * The New York Times Critics' (Parul Seghal's Top Books of the Year) * St. Louis Post Dispatch * Apple * A Publisher's Weekly's Top Ten Books of the Year An electrifying novel about beauty, envy, and carelessness from Deborah Levy, author of the Booker Prize finalists Hot Milk and Swimming Home. It is 1988 and Saul Adler, a narcissistic young historian, has been invited to Communist East Berlin to do research; in exchange, he must publish a favorable essay about the German Democratic Republic. As a gift for his translator's sister, a Beatles fanatic who will be his host, Saul's girlfriend will shoot a photograph of him standing in the crosswalk on Abbey Road, an homage to the famous album cover. As he waits for her to arrive, he is grazed by an oncoming car, which changes the trajectory of his life. The Man Who Saw Everything is about the difficulty of seeing ourselves and others clearly. It greets the specters that come back to haunt old and new love, previous and current incarnations of Europe, conscious and unconscious transgressions, and real and imagined betrayals, while investigating the cyclic nature of history and its reinvention by people in power. Here, Levy traverses the vast reaches of the human imagination while artfully blurring sexual and political binaries-feminine and masculine, East and West, past and present--to reveal the full spectrum of our world.

Winner of the Los Angeles Times Christopher Isherwood Prize for Autobiographical Prose Named a Best Book of the Year by NPR, the Washington Post, TIME, and Kirkus A Millions Most Anticipated Book of the Year A USA Today Book Not to Miss A LitHub Best-Reviewed Book of the Year Real Estate is the third and final installment in three-time Booker Prize nominated Deborah Levy's Living Autobiography series: an exhilarating, thought-provoking and boldly intimate meditation on home and the specters that haunt it in our patriarchal society. "Three bicycles. Seven ghosts. A crumbling apartment block on the hill. Fame. Tenderness. The statue of Peter Pan. Silk. Melancholy. The banana tree. A love story." Virginia Woolf wrote that in order to be a writer, a woman needs a room of one's own. Now, in Real Estate, acclaimed author Deborah Levy concludes her ground-breaking trilogy of living autobiographies with an exhilarating, boldly intimate meditation on home and the specters that haunt it. In this vibrant memoir, Levy employs her characteristic indelible writing, sharp wit, and acute insights to craft a searing examination of womanhood and ownership. Her inventory of possessions, real and imagined, pushes readers to question our cultural understanding of belonging and belongings and to consider the value of a woman's intellectual and personal life. Blending personal history, gender politics, philosophy, and literary theory, Real Estate is a brilliant, compulsively readable narrative.
