Audrey Niffenegger – författare

»En fantastisk, charmig och originell kärlekshistoria.« The Times En lördag i oktober kliver Clare in på Newberrybiblioteket i Chicago och får syn på Henry, en man hon har känt i hela sitt liv och som hon älskar. Hon går fram till honom och hälsar men han verkar inte ha en aning om vem hon är, och dessutom ser han yngre ut än han någonsin gjort förut. Tidsresenärens hustru är den gripande berättelsen om Clare och Henry, en man som lider av en genetisk störning som gör att han plötsligt och ofrivilligt kastas fram och tillbaka mellan olika tidpunkter i sitt liv. Samtidigt som Henrys liv utspelar sig i en kaotisk oordning måste Clare handskas med ovissheten och förtvivlan som kommer av att älska en man som när som helst kan försvinna. Boken blev en omedelbar succé när den publicerades 2003. Sedan dess har den sålt i miljontals exemplar och adapterats till film, tv och musikal. I översättning av Sven Christer Swahn. AUDREY NIFFENEGGER [1963], född i South Haven, Michigan, är en amerikansk författare, konstnär och akademiker. Hon debuterade 2003 med romanen Tidsresenärens hustru, som blev en enorm framgång. »En storslagen hyllning av kärlekens seger.« Chicago Tribune »En magnifikt originell kärlekshistoria.« People Magazine

When Elspeth Noblin dies she leaves her beautiful flat overlooking Highgate Cemetery to her twin nieces, Julia and Valentina Poole, on the condition that their mother is never allowed to cross the threshold. But until the solicitor's letter falls through the door of their suburban American home, either Julia nor Valentina knew their aunt existed. The twins hope that in London their own, separate, lives can finally begin but they have no idea that they've been summoned into a tangle of fraying lives, from the obsessive-compulsive crossword setter who lives above them to their aunt's mysterious and elusive lover who lives below them and works in the cemetery itself. As the twins unravel the secrets of their aunt, who doesn't seem quite ready to leave her flat, even after death, Niffenegger weaves together a delicious and deadly ghost story about love, loss and identity.

From the author of the #1 bestselling The Time Traveler''s Wife, a spectacularly compelling novel—set in and near Highgate Cemetery in London, about the love between twins, men and women, ghosts and the living.Julia and Valentina Poole are twenty-year-old sisters with an intense attachment to each other. One morning the mailman delivers a thick envelope to their house in the suburbs of Chicago. Their English aunt Elspeth Noblin has died of cancer and left them her London apartment. There are two conditions for this inheritance: that they live in the flat for a year before they sell it and that their parents not enter it. Julia and Valentina are twins. So were the girls’ aunt Elspeth and their mother, Edie. The girls move to Elspeth’s flat, which borders the vast Highgate Cemetery, where Christina Rossetti, George Eliot, Stella Gibbons, and other luminaries are buried. Julia and Valentina become involved with their living neighbors: Martin, a composer of crossword puzzles who suffers from crippling OCD, and Robert, Elspeth’s elusive lover, a scholar of the cemetery. They also discover that much is still alive in Highgate, including—perhaps—their aunt.

Two great loves. A world in chaos. And a life that never lands in order.'Graceful... Satisfying... It takes on the biggest issues of our times without a flinch' BONNIE GARMUS'Wonderfully enigmatic' TRACY CHEVALIER'A marvel... Something I won't stop thinking about' CLAIRE DAVERLEYAlba DeTamble is a time traveler, slipping unpredictably through decades like her father before her. But the hardest thing she carries isn’t the burden of futures she can’t understand, or pasts she cannot change – it’s a secret: she is in love with two different people.Each of them offers a different life. Zach lives in the present and can’t follow her when she disappears. Oliver can travel through time, just like she can.As Alba careens from time to time, moving from the riot-torn Chicago streets of her present to the eerie, timeless Yellow House, and into the digital corridors of the Museum of Lost Souls and a flooded future London, she must face a question she can no longer avoid: how is it possible to love, and live a meaningful life, in an increasingly troubled, fractured world?Intimate and expansive, Life Out of Order is a kaleidoscopic story of love, resilience and hope when time is running out.

Otherworldly, provocative, and strange, Audrey Niffenegger’s art is a vital a part of her vision as her bestselling novels The Time Traveler’s Wife and Her Fearful Symmetry. Awake in the Dream World is a mid-career retrospective of Nifffenegger’s work, reflecting her talent for cultivating a captivating narrative exclusively through pictures and her own confrontations with life, mortality, and magic.Niffenegger's fantastical body of work is reminiscent of renowned pen and ink predecessors such as Edward Gorey, Aubrey Beardsley, Egon Schiele, Edward Dulac, and Horst Janssen, but with a brutally honest and unapologetically strange female perspective that touches upon the universal trials of life - death and decay, love, jealousy, redemption, and the inevitability of change. Her works on paper, lithographs, and aquatints reflect the often surreal narratives of her artist's books. Through self-portraiture, Niffenegger reveals her own self-assurance and whimsy alongside anxiety and loneliness, probing darker corners of the human heart and mind, often exploring the hopeless struggle with what Shakespeare called 'this bloody tyrant, Time'.Essays by Audrey Niffenegger, National Museum of Women in the Arts Curator of Book Arts Krystyna Wasserman, and Art Institute of Chicago Curator and School of the Art Institute Professor Mark Pascale explore the artist's influences and work.Published in conjunction with an exhibition at the National Museum of Women in the Arts

Tämä on tarina Claresta, punatukkaisesta taideopiskelijasta, ja Henrystä, seikkailunhaluisesta ja boheemista kirjastonhoitajasta, jotka ovat rakastaneet toisiaan koko elämänsä. Kun he tapasivat ensimmäisen kerran, Clare oli kuuden vanha, Henry kolmekymmentäkuusi.Kun he menevät naimisiin, Clare on kaksikymmentäkolmevuotias, Henry kolmekymmentäyksi. Mahdoton yhtälö? Ei, vaan totta, sillä Henry on ensimmäinen ihminen, joka kärsii aikasiirtymähäiriöstä: hän tempautuu tahtomattaan nykyhetkestä menneisyyteen tai tulevaisuuteen, varsinkin kokiessaan tunnemyrskyjä. Omista häistäänkin hän katoaa hetkeksi, mutta palaa juhlapöytään, tosin jollain tapaa vanhemman ja aikuisemman näköisenä.Kaikki katoamistemput eivät kuitenkaan suju yhtä mallikkaasti. Syntyy sekä hillittömän hauskoja että sydäntä raastavia tilanteita. Vaikka Clarella ja Henryllä on kestämistä vaikean sairauden aiheuttamissa kommelluksissa, he yrittävät sinnikkäästi elää normaalia nuorenparin elämää. He käyvät töissä, kokkailevat, huvittelevat ystäviensä kanssa ja unelmoivat lapsista. Heidän intohimoinen rakkautensa kantaa heitä yli aikarajojen ja saa heidät lopulta uhmaamaan kohtaloa.
