Something Out of Place
The blistering non-fiction debut from the author of the critically acclaimed A Girl is a Half-formed Thing
'A fearless, interrogative work that speaks so much to structural inequality and misogyny. A fierce and fascinating manifesto in McBride's persuasive prose' Sinead Gleeson
Here, Eimear McBride unpicks the contradictory forces of disgust and objectification that control and shame women. From playground taunts of 'only sluts do it' but 'virgins are frigid', to ladette culture, and the arrival of 'ironic' porn, via Debbie Harry, the Kardashians and the Catholic church - she looks at how this prejudicial messaging has played out in the past, and still surrounds us today.
In this subversive essay, McBride asks - are women still damned if we do, damned if we don't? How can we give our daughters (and sons) the unbounded futures we want for them? And, in this moment of global crisis, might our gift for juggling contradiction help us to find a way forward?

Kisbohémek
Egy tizennyolc éves ír lány, aki nemrégiben érkezett Londonba színinövendéknek, megismerkedik egy nála jóval idősebb férfival, az ismert színésszel. A lány naiv, elbűvöli a nagyvárosi élet, a férfit azonban nem is egy démon kísérti, s félő, hogy ez mindkettejüket a vesztébe sodorja.
A Kisbohémek egyetlen évbe sűrített, megragadó beszámoló szenvedélyről és ártatlanságról, a felnőtté válás örvényeiről és szorongásairól, az érzékek felfedezéséről az 1990-es évtized Londonjának zűrzavarában. A szerző tabukat nem, csak a szerelem hatalmát ismeri.
A többnyire margón kallódó művészek, kiútkereső bohémek világában játszódó regény Eimear McBride második kötete, amelyben az írónő egy viharos kapcsolat krónikásaként kamatoztatja fergeteges mesélőkedvét és magával ragadó beszédmódját.

Girl is a Half formed thing
Eimear McBride's debut tells, with astonishing insight and in brutal detail, the story of a young woman's relationship with her brother, and the long shadow cast by his childhood brain tumour. Not so much a stream of consciousness, as an unconscious railing against a life that makes little sense, and a shocking and intimate insight into the thoughts, feelings and chaotic sexuality of a vulnerable and isolated protagonist, to read A Girl Is A Half-Formed Thing is to plunge inside its narrator's head, experiencing her world first-hand. This isn't always comfortable - but it is always a revelation. Touching on everything from family violence to sexuality and the personal struggle to remain intact in times of intense trauma, McBride writes with singular intensity, acute sensitivity and mordant wit. A Girl is a Half-formed Thing is moving, funny - and alarming.
