Larkin's family welcomes Sophie into their home, caring for her and teaching her games and new words. They come to love this baby as their own, all the while knowing that eventually Sophie's mother will return one day to take her from them.
Kirsten Thorup's Baby introduces us to strangers, the outsiders: misfits, deviants, losers, the powerless, those at the bottom of the social hierarchy. They are the other side of the coin, the failures.The novel opens in the Mexicana, a cheap nightclub in the Vesterbro district of Copenhagen, where several acquaintances are gathered together in a meaningless, hand-to-mouth companionship. When the club closes, they go their own ways, never to return to the club again a dispersion that gives the book its basic pattern of wandering and aimlessness and no neatly rounded closing of the circle.Their tracts zigzag through the city. We follow Mark, the untalented auto salesman with the Orson Welles profile who is heavily in debt and does not know how to get out, home to his money-grubbing wife who get household income by selling herself to the loan shark who has Mark in his clutches. We follow Suzie on a drunken spree in Sweden with a couple of delinquents. We visit Leni, who has never written the book she wants to write because she has had to support herself by translating porno magazines. We go with her to the home of her former husband, Eddy, who once owned the run-down apartment where Karla, a single mother with two children, now lives. Eddy is the central to the story. He is the spider; his money, and its power, are the poison.Permeating the everyday lives of these characters is an experience that perhaps a woman best can formulate: the experience of being a thing, an object rather than a subject, a receiver, of bribery, of blows and bruises, of caresses, or persuasive words. And perhaps a woman's sensitivity is also particularly suited to describing this state with the unsentimental tenderness that Kirsten Thorup manifests in Baby.Baby deals with people who have been pushed out into the darkness. They are the children of darkness and some of them do dark deeds. But Thorup has said that if she had to choose an epigraph for the novel, it would be a line from Hugo: ""Not those who do dark deeds, but those who create the darkness are the truly guilty ones.
Carla Harryman is the author of 11 books of poetry, prose plays and essays. Her two experimental novels, Gardener of Stars (2001) and The Words: after Carl Sandburg's Rootabaga Stories and Jean-Paul Sartre (1999) are "explorations of the paradise and wastelands of utopian desire." Baby continues this exploration through the convolutions of Baby, who enters the book as "fire in the womb with a skirt." Harryman, a native Californian, now lives in Detroit where she teaches women's studies, creative writing and literature at Wayne State University. She has also written a number of essays on innovative writing by women. Her most recent essay, "Residues or Revolutions of the Language of Acker and Artaud," is forthcoming Devouring Institutions (SDSU Press).

���������������� �������������������������������� had her fair share of loss for the past seventeen years. Now that she's turning eighteen, it means finally leaving the orphanage she grew up in and going to college very far away, something she's been waiting for all her life. To leave and never come back. After applying for just about any college far enough from the south with good degree programs, she was devastated to get rejection letter after rejection letter, even though she's worked so hard all these years. When the last batch of acceptance letters gets rolled out, Baby was shocked but ecstatic to find out she was granted to a full ride of a school two thousand miles away in Seattle, Washington named Oak Hill University located almost downtown Seattle. It almost seemed too perfect. Like it was like fate, everything was falling into place.
