By the author of Ducks, Newburyport, shortlisted for the 2019 Booker Prize, Goldsmiths Prize and Saltire Fiction Book of the Year AwardBach, sculpture, plastic surgery, public speaking and a New York love story like no other - this is Lucy Ellmann's most extraordinary work of art to date'Bolshy, life-affirming, feminist and energetic. It makes you long to chuck your job, gulp oysters and run naked through the surf' Sunday Times'A wildly hilarious, modern film noir in fiction form' Sunday TelegraphIt’s Christmas Eve in Manhattan.Harrison Hanafan, noted plastic surgeon, falls on his ass. So far, so good. ‘Ya can’t sit there all day, buddy, looking up people’s skirts!’ chides a weird gal in a coat like a duvet - Mimi! She kindly conjures for him the miracle of a taxi.Recuperating in his apartment with Schubert, Bette Davis, and a foundling cat, Harrison adds items to his life’s work, a List of Melancholy Things (Walmart, puppetry, Velcro, whale eyes, shrimp-eating contests...). But when he receives a dreaded invitation to address his old school, Mimi reappears, with all her curves and chaos. She and Harrison fall emphatically in love.And, as their love-making reaches a whole new kind of climax, the sweet smell of revolution is in the air.

Lucy Ellmann is an original' The GuardianSuzy Schwarz has learnt one or two things about life: other people know how you should live better than you do; sisters (especially Fran) can destroy your sanity and self-esteem; lust calls for careful timing because it rarely coincides with that of your partner; and most heartbreaking of all, parents die on you, leaving you grieving.The only thing that provides constant solace when times are bad (and they usually are) is food...

By the author of Ducks, Newburyport, shortlisted for the Booker Prize 2019, the Saltire Fiction Book of the Year Award and the Goldsmiths Prize'Bold ... Wonderful' Sunday Times'Hilarious ... Razor-sharp wit' CosmopolitanEloise is too old to be called an orphan but insists she is bereft. With a cello, a car, some cats and a supply of Chicken Balti, she has devised for herself a half-alive hermitude. From her sinister country cottage she dispatches plaintive missives to the purveyors of evaporated milk and loo-roll holders. No one is too high, too powerful, to escape the fury of her attack.George is England's only poet of ice hockey (not a full-time job). Pining for inspiration, he plays a lot of pinball and is chased around by his students. Indeed, all through the land people languish in a rage of bewilderment, undone by neighbours, the news and the heartless human tendancy to reduce the world to lists.Fierce, funny and strange (touching on the unseen links between donkeys, fruit-labelling and ferry disasters) Lucy Ellmann's third novel reveals the stubborn nature of absurdity. Man or Mango? wanders through the darkest areas of human behaviour, and our century's history, asking how to live - and how to love.

Lucy Ellmann is clever, and very angry' The TimesIn an eminent London art institute - the Catafalque - Our Heroine Isabel (she of the obsessional habits, perpetual virginity and peculiar belly button) sit in wistful contemplation of Chardin's brushstrokes and the virile red socks of passing lecturers.Isabel's wholly imaginary love life (based on the romantic notions of authoress Babs Cartwheel) bears little resemblance to that of her flatmate Pol, who prefers to grip reality by the balls.Enter Robert, victim of an American childhood, kitsch memorabilia, academic rivalry, Pol's belly-dancing and Isabel's mute adoration. Can he be perverse enough not to despair?

I begin to suspect she may be some sort of genius' Telegraph'It is somehow hard not to be optimistic in the hands of a writer so angry and intelligent ... Doctors & Nurses is a novel bracingly alive, making more polite books cadaverous by comparison' GuardianThe tranquillity of a rural backwater - SHATTERED!The ancient arts of medicine - EXPOSED!Her darling cleft-chinned doctor - FORCED TO FIGHT FOR HIS LIFE!It was a time of wiping. A time of bandaging. Of patients and their incessant needs.

En hemmafru i Ohio bakar den ena pajen efter den andra och försöker samtidigt famna allt som inte går att greppa i ett liv. Hon oroar sig för sina barn, tänker på sitt äktenskap och på sina döda föräldrar. Men grubblerierna kan också röra afrikanska elefanter, hur lyckliga par egentligen har det, massförstörelsevapen, Donald Trump, klimatförändringar, sjukhuskostnader, skolskjutningar, katter och höns … Att beskriva Ankor, Newburyport är som att beskriva ett hav, eller en storm. Lucy Ellmann har skapat en vild medvetandeström som far mellan det meningsfulla och det meningslösa, mellan nuet och det förflutna – en revolutionerande roman som ser oändligheten i våra alldeles vanliga, begränsade liv.

Ankor, Newburyport har hyllats som en av vår tids stora romaner, i alla avseenden. Detta drygt tusensidiga verk nominerades till Bookerpriset och tilldelades The Goldsmiths Prize 2019 och etablerade Lucy Ellmann som både arvtagare till Joyce och Woolf och förnyare av romankonsten.

"Ellmann visar att det fanns – att det finns – stordåd kvar att göra. Ge hennes vardag en månad, helst på heltid, av ditt liv." Victor Malm, Expressen.

"…en bedrift" Dagens Nyheter

"en förgiftad, underhållande och alldeles nödvändig medvetandeström om dessa yttersta tider." Aftonbladet

"en säregen läsupplevelse" Norrköpings Tidningar

"Berörande och brett anlagd blir det också en bok som, den vindlande formen till trots, är så lätt att stiga in" Expressen
