Praise for Rikki Ducornet: "A novelist whose vocabulary sweats with
a kind of lyrical heat." New York Times "Ducornet surrealist,
absurdist, pure anarchist at times is one of our most accomplished
writers, adept at seizing on the perfect details and writing with
emotion and cool detachment simultaneously. I love her style
because it is penetrating and precise but also sensual without
being overwrought. You experience a Ducornet novel with all of your
senses." Jeff VanderMeer "Linguistically explosive. . . . One of
the most interesting American writers around." The Nation "Ducornet
celebrates the playful and rebellious nature of art, and the
anarchic ability of the imagination to subvert physical
limitations." Times Literary Supplement A feral boy comes of age on
a campus decadent with starched sheets, sweating cocktails, and
homemade jams. Stub is the cause of that missing sweater, the pie
that disappeared off the cooling rack. Then Stub meets Billy, who
takes him in, and Asthma, who enchants him, and all is found, then
lost. A fragrant, voluptuous novel of imposture, misplaced
affection, and emotional deformity. An artist and writer, Rikki
Ducornet has illustrated books by Robert Coover, Jorge Luis Borges,
Forrest Gander, and Joanna Howard. Her paintings have been
exhibited widely, including, most recently, at the Pierre Menard
Gallery in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and the Salvador Allende
Museum in Santiago, Chile.
