Out today, a searing debut novel by the Argentine artist and philosopher Malén Denis, translated by Laura Hatry and John Wronoski. Lithium is a novel about what cannot be fully named or pinned down.
The voice that speaks to us in Lithium is that of a woman in her late twenties, swinging from hope to despair but compulsively determined to understand everything that’s happening around her: a miscarriage, an absent lover, a bad drug trip, horoscopes, friends who come and go, life-as-a-trap, and hopes of an escape.
Lithium is our February pick for the New Classics Club. Join by the end of the month to receive it and a special gift.
