Carnality
Lina Wolff, Frank Perry"Carnality is the crystallization of Wolff’s years of narrating carnality and its effects. This novel answers the central question posed in her previous works: What is the solution to the problems of the flesh?... Whatever the case may be, Wolff’s understanding of carnality is multilayered, all-consuming, and deeply entrenched..." - Elizabeth McNeill, The Chicago Review Of Books
Awarded a three-month stipend to travel and work, a Swedish writer flies to Madrid, where in a bar she meets a man with an extraordinary story to tell. In exchange for somewhere to sleep and to hide out for a few days, he is willing to tell her the whole astonishing tale.
What follows is an account of fantastic proportions and ingredients: the existence of a shadowy Internet TV show with a certain morality clause, a threat to the storyteller’s life, a diabolical nun, and the story of a girl with a missing left thumb. The tale is also the precursor to a meeting between the writer and the infernal miracle worker, Lucia - a meeting that ultimately forces the writer to make a fateful decision about her own inner essence.
"When an author tries and fails to pull off this level of formal sorcery, it feels like being pantsed on the playground. (Startling. Unfair.) When an author succeeds, as Wolff does, it replicates the optimal sensation of intoxication: Suddenly anything can happen! And you want it that way!..." - Molly Young, The New York Times
Carnality is a novel about the universal need for spirituality and truth - not to mention a good story - set in the seemingly unspiritual grimy underbelly of society.
