Icy, intricate, and unflinching, Coming. Apart. captures the zeniths and nadirs of the human experience in six propulsive stories about sexual obsession and doomed relationships.
In the stark, poetic voice that garnered her collection Anatomy. Monotony. cult status in Norway and abroad, writer and performance artist Edy Poppy offers a vision of sexuality and alienation unlike any other. Beautifully translated from the original Norwegian by May-Brit Akerholt, her stories explore moments of labyrinthine intimacy with a cold intensity that proves impossible to forget.
Edy Poppy (b. 1975), grew up on a farm in B?, Telemark, Norway. She moved to Montpellier when she was 17, and spent several years in France before moving to London where she worked with art, fashion, film and writing. In 2005 she published her first novel Anatomy.Monotony., which was translated into Italian, Finnish, German, Polish and English. It won the contest for best love story by Gyldendal. Poppy has lived in Berlin, Buenos Aires, Lipari, Reykjavik, and Rio, and now calls Australia home.
May-Brit Akerholt's published translations of Norwegian works include plays, novels, and poetry collections by writers such as Henrik Ibsen, Jon Fosse, and Ruth Lillegraven. She lives in Australia, where she is a recipient of a fellowship from the Theatre Board of Australia Council.
