Her work insistently raises the possibility that the world is larger and stranger than the world you think you know.’ Jonathan Franzen\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStartlingly radical, dazzlingly witty, unlike anything that has come before – these are the two most exciting novels published this year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMISLAID\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVirginia, 1966. The motionless deeps of the lake outside Stillwater College are being ruffled. Lee, a blue-blooded poet and professor, is determinedly fondling Peggy, an ingénue freshman with literary pretensions, in his canoe. So begins a long affair but the two are mismatched from the start.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe story that follows rocks the boat in every sense. Nell Zink’s hugely entertaining, totally unique Mislaid explodes the nuclear family and topples every foundation of identity – black and white, gay and straight, “normal” and very very strange…\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTHE WALLCREEPER\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInterlaken, Berne, 21st century. Several things happen after the car hits the rock. Tiff ceases to be pregnant. Stephen captures, like, the most wonderful bird – fleet, stealthy, and beautiful – a real “lifer”. And the wallcreeper, the wallcreeper says “twee”.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Wallcreeper is nothing more than a portrait of marriage, complete with all its requisite highs and lows: drugs, dubstep, small chores, anal sex, eco-terrorism, birding, breeding and feeding.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nell Zink","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47285325824149,"sku":"9780008139933","price":13.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0484\/3175\/9509\/files\/9780008139933.jpg?v=1776992052","url":"https:\/\/harpercollins.com.au\/products\/9780008139933_mislaid-and-the-wallcreeper-the-nell-zink-collection","provider":"HarperCollins AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
