Abigail Parry

Broschiertes Buch

Jinx

Beschreibung

Abigail Parry's first collection is concerned with spells, and ersatz spells: with semblance and sleight-of-hand. It takes its formal cues from moth-camouflage and stage magic, from the mirror-maze and the masquerade, and from high-stakes games of poker. Shortlisted for the Forward Prize for Best First Collection 2018.
