These powerhouse novels from Catalan superstar Eva Baltasar tell wild, delirious tales of queer women blazing new trails through sexuality, motherhood, and friendship.The roving narrator of Permafrost trades one home for another – moving around Europe in pursuit of liberation, sex, self, and autonomy. In the International Booker-shortlisted Boulder a woman gives up her job as a Chilean fishing boat’s cook to move to Reykjavik with Samsa, the woman she loves. But when Samsa decides she wants to have a baby, she must decide whether this domestic idyll is what she is really looking for. In Mammoth, a young, disenchanted lesbian is looking to rearrange her life. She seduces a string of random men in an attempt to get pregnant and moves to a remote farmhouse to take care of sheep, battle stray cats, dabble in sex work – all in search of a more powerful, deeply felt life.
