Field Ramble with Lucia Lijtmaer
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
On this episode we meet Lucia Lijtmaer to hear all about her upcoming novel Cautery. Published for the first time in English by Charco Press, it is a novel filled with apocalyptic fantasies and a deep mistrust of the supposed greater good.
Set between modern day Barcelona and puritan New York Cautery follows the stories of two women (one real, the other imagined) who, although separated by 400 years both share a vision of either escaping the confines of society or burning it to the ground.
It’s a novel that shares some of the same ‘end of days’ terrain as Ali Millar’s Ava Anna Ada as well as the critique of bourgeois, hipster lifestyles found in Vincenzo Latronico’s Perfection, as unnerving as it is compelling.
'A searing, twisted feast.' Laura Fernández
'Masterful,' CLARIN
