»Den snuskigaste, bisarraste och mest originella skönlitterära bok jag läst på länge.« Vogue
Lucy har skrivit på sin avhandling om Sapfo i nio år när förhållandet med pojkvännen tar slut och det blir omöjligt för henne att bo kvar i Phoenix. Systern Annika insisterar på att Lucy ska passa hennes hund och bo i systerns fantastiska hem: en glaskub i Venice Beach. Men Lucy finner ingen lindring från ångesten. Inte hos den grekiska kör av kvinnor hon möter i gruppterapin för kärleksberoende. Knappast heller på Tinder. Inte ens i den kravlösa ömheten hos hunden Dominic. Men allt förändras en dag vid stranden när hon spanar in en gåtfull simmare. Efter att ha blivit varse hans identitet tvingas Lucy att fullständigt omvärdera sin syn på vad kärlek och förhållanden kan vara. Melissa Broders debutroman I fiskarnas tecken [The Pisces, 2018] är en mästerlig blandning av skarp realism och svindlande fantasi. I svensk översättning av Helena Hansson.
MELISSA BRODER är en amerikansk romanförfattare, poet och essäist. Hon har bland annat gett ut en storsäljande samling självbiografiska essäer med titeln So Sad Today [2016], baserad på Twitterkontot med samma namn som nu har fler än 600.000 följare. Broder växte upp i Pennsylvania, men flyttade sedan till New York, där hon var förläggare för Penguin Books. Numera är hon bosatt i Los Angeles. I fiskarnas tecken är Melissa Broders debutroman.
»Vågad, virtuos beroendeframkallande. Det finns inget som I fiskarnas tecken.« Stephanie Danler, författare till Bittersweet
Om Melissa Broders »So Sad Today«:
»Ett enda stort, icke-receptbelagt lyckopiller som borde säljas på apotek världen över.« Sinziana Ravini, Göteborgs-Posten
»Melissa Broders essäer är ledsamma och obekväma och fantastiska på ett helt eget vis. De blottlägger så mycket om hur det är att vara människa.« Roxane Gay
»2016 års bästa bok.« Lena Dunham
»Schamaner, kristaller och yoga blandas med amfetamin, antidepressiva läkemedel och dagsfyllor. Ska du ge en present till en kvinna mellan 15 och 40 är Melissa Broders bok ett givet val.« Ida Therén, Svenska Dagbladet

LONGLISTED FOR THE CENTER FOR FICTION FIRST NOVEL PRIZELONGLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION“Bold, virtuosic, addictive, erotic – there is nothing like The Pisces. I have no idea how Broder does it, but I loved every dark and sublime page of it.” —Stephanie Danler, author of Sweetbitter Lucy has been writing her dissertation on Sappho for nine years when she and her boyfriend break up in a dramatic flameout. After she bottoms out in Phoenix, her sister in Los Angeles insists Lucy dog-sit for the summer. Annika's home is a gorgeous glass cube on Venice Beach, but Lucy can find little relief from her anxiety — not in the Greek chorus of women in her love addiction therapy group, not in her frequent Tinder excursions, not even in Dominic the foxhound's easy affection. Everything changes when Lucy becomes entranced by an eerily attractive swimmer while sitting alone on the beach rocks one night. But when Lucy learns the truth about his identity, their relationship, and Lucy’s understanding of what love should look like, take a very unexpected turn. A masterful blend of vivid realism and giddy fantasy, pairing hilarious frankness with pulse-racing eroticism, THE PISCES is a story about falling in obsessive love with a merman: a figure of Sirenic fantasy whose very existence pushes Lucy to question everything she thought she knew about love, lust, and meaning in the one life we have.

A scathingly funny, wildly erotic and fiercely imaginative story about food, sex and god from the Women's Prize longlisted author of The Pisces A STYLIST, INDEPENDENT, THE WEEK AND RED HIGHLIGHT FOR 2021 'Sexy and fun and a little weird ... This riot of carnal pleasure will make you laugh as well as gasp' The Times'A revelation ... Melissa Broder has produced one of the strangest and sexiest novels of the new year ... Exhilarating' Entertainment Weekly'A luscious, heartbreaking story of self-discovery through the relentless pursuit of desire. I couldn’t get enough of this devastating and extremely sexy book' Carmen Maria Machado, author of Her Body and Other PartiesRachel is twenty-four, a lapsed Jew who has made calorie restriction her religion. By day, she maintains an illusion of control by way of obsessive food rituals. At night, she pedals nowhere on the elliptical machine. Then Rachel meets Miriam, a young Orthodox Jewish woman intent upon feeding her. Rachel is suddenly and powerfully entranced by Miriam – by her sundaes and her body, her faith and her family – and as the two grow closer, Rachel embarks on a journey marked by mirrors, mysticism, mothers, milk, and honey.Pairing superlative emotional insight with unabashed vivid fantasy, Melissa Broder tells a tale of appetites: of physical hunger, of sexual desire, of spiritual longing. Milk Fed is a tender and riotously funny meditation on love, certitude, and the question of what we are all being fed, from one of our major writers on the psyche – both sacred and profane.

Named a Best Book of 2023 by The New York Times ("incandescent...hilarious...a triumph"), Oprah Daily ("surreal, absurd, lucid, and wise"), Vanity Fair ("Broder [is] a genius and a sorceress"), and more! From the visionary author of Milk Fed and The Pisces, a darkly funny novel about grief and a “magical tale of survival” (Publishers Weekly, starred review).In Melissa Broder’s astonishingly profound new novel, a woman arrives alone at a Best Western seeking respite from an emptiness that plagues her. She has fled to the California high desert to escape a cloud of sorrow—for both her father in the ICU and a husband whose illness is worsening. What the motel provides, however, is not peace but a path discovered on a nearby hike. Out along the sun-scorched trail, the narrator encounters a towering cactus whose size and shape mean it should not exist in California. Yet the cactus is there, with a gash through its side that beckons like a familiar door. So she enters it. What awaits her inside this mystical succulent sets her on a journey at once desolate and rich, hilarious, and poignant. Death Valley is Melissa Broder at her most imaginative, most universal, and finest, and is “a journey unlike any you’ve read before” (Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah, author of Friday Black).

By day, she maintains an illusion of existential control, through obsessive food rituals, while working as an underling at a Los Angeles talent management agency. At night, she pedals nowhere on the elliptical machine. Rachel is content to carry on subsisting—until her therapist encourages her to take a ninety-day communication detox from her mother, who raised her in the tradition of calorie counting. Rachel soon meets Miriam, a zaftig young Orthodox Jewish woman who works at her favorite frozen yogurt shop and is intent upon feeding her. Rachel is suddenly and powerfully entranced by Miriam—by her sundaes and her body, her faith and her family—and as the two grow closer, Rachel embarks on a journey marked by mirrors, mysticism, mothers, milk, and honey. “A ruthless, laugh-out-loud examination of life under the tyranny of diet culture” (Glamour) Broder tells a tale of appetites: physical hunger, sexual desire, spiritual longing, and the ways that we compartmentalize these so often interdependent instincts.

Nach einer Überdosis Schlaftabletten erwacht Lucy benebelt und inmitten eines Berges aus puderzuckerbestäubten Donuts in ihrem Auto, ohne genau zu wissen, wo sie sich befindet. Wo befindet man sich überhaupt im Leben, wenn man mit neununddreißig Jahren schon seit einer Ewigkeit über griechische Dichtung promoviert, partout keine Kinder will, frisch getrennt ist und immer dicker und depressiver wird? Eine Liebe-und-Sex-Therapiegruppe in Venice Beach soll für Lucy Antworten auf diese und andere Fragen liefern, genauso wie ihr neuer Tinder-Account. Doch das unfassbarste High erlebt sie am Strand: Ein wunderschöner Meermann taucht aus dem Ozean auf. Alles zuvor Gewesene wird relativ. Ein ehrlicher, komischer und trauriger Roman, der den ewigen Glauben an die Erlösung durch Liebe und Sexualität radikal hinterfragt.

"Eine opulente, herzzerreißende Geschichte der Selbstfindung durch schonungsloses Streben nach Begehren. Umwerfend." Carmen Maria MachadoStatt Thora liest Rachel lieber Kalorientabellen und kann sie runterbeten. Statt in die Synagoge geht sie lieber in den Frozen-Joghurt-Laden. Rachel hadert nicht nur mit sich selbst, sondern auch mit ihrer Mutter. Die Therapeutin empfiehlt ihr ein mütterliches Kommunikations-Detox. Doch auch das Topping auf dem Frozen Joghurt kann das emotionale Loch nicht schließen. Da taucht Miriam auf, eine junge orthodoxe Jüdin, die die besten Eisbecher der Stadt kreieren kann. Rachel ist hingerissen von dieser Frau – ihrem Hunger, ihrem Körper, ihrem Glauben und ihrer Familie und begibt sich auf eine Reise voller Spiegel, Mystizismus, Mütter, Milch und Honig. So pointiert und witzig wurde noch nicht über Essverhalten, so schonungslos über verkorkste Mutter-Tochter-Beziehungen und Selbsthass geschrieben. Dabei verliert Melissa Broder aber auch das große Ganze nicht aus dem Blick: die Oberflächlichkeit unserer Welt, den Glauben an Etwas und die Rolle des weiblichen Körpers. Eine zärtliche und wilde Meditation über Liebe und Sein.

Den amerikanska författaren Melissa Broder har länge kämpat mot sin ångest. Under hösten 2012 drabbades hon av återkommande panikattacker som var värre än något hon tidigare hade upplevt. Det var då hon startade @sosadtoday, ett anonymt Twitter-konto där hon gav uttryck för sina mörkaste känslor. Det fick snabbt en stor och hängiven följarskara. I essäsamlingen "So sad today" utvecklar och fördjupar Broder de teman hon har tagit upp på Twitter. Med skärpa, brutal ärlighet och svart humor och på ett språk som är både överrumplande och konkret rör hon sig vigt mellan depressioner och Botox, sex och självreflektion, dålig självkänsla och livslust i sina försök att bringa klarhet i tillvarons villkor. "Melissa Broders essäer är ledsamma och obekväma och fantastiska på ett helt eget vis. De blottlägger så mycket om hur det är att vara människa." /Roxane Gay Melissa Broders "So sad today" var 2016 års bästa bok /Lena Dunham "Broder's essays often left me with a sharp sense of feminine recognition. I would read her accounts of heartbreak, sexual dissatisfaction, and alienation and think, Same..." /NewYorker "If her Twitter account is a darkly comic 'creative way to distract myself and cope,' as [Melissa Broder] describes it, then her essays are deeper excavations of that same mind." /Elle "Vividly rendered and outspokenly delivered essays...Sordid, compulsively readable entries that lay bare a troubled soul painstakingly on the mend." /Kirkus Reviews

»Den snuskigaste, bisarraste och mest originella skönlitterära bok jag läst på länge.« Vogue Lucy har skrivit på sin avhandling om Sapfo i nio år när förhållandet med pojkvännen tar slut och det blir omöjligt för henne att bo kvar i Phoenix. Systern Annika insisterar på att Lucy ska passa hennes hund och bo i systerns fantastiska hem: en glaskub i Venice Beach. Men Lucy finner ingen lindring från ångesten. Inte hos den grekiska kör av kvinnor hon möter i gruppterapin för kärleksberoende. Knappast heller på Tinder. Inte ens i den kravlösa ömheten hos hunden Dominic. Men allt förändras en dag vid stranden när hon spanar in en gåtfull simmare. Efter att ha blivit varse hans identitet tvingas Lucy att fullständigt omvärdera sin syn på vad kärlek och förhållanden kan vara. Melissa Broders debutroman I fiskarnas tecken [The Pisces, 2018] är en mästerlig blandning av skarp realism och svindlande fantasi. I svensk översättning av Helena Hansson.

I fiskarnas tecken är Melissa Broders debutroman. »Vågad, virtuos beroendeframkallande. Det finns inget som I fiskarnas tecken.« Stephanie Danler, författare till Bittersweet Om Melissa Broders »So Sad Today«: »Ett enda stort, icke-receptbelagt lyckopiller som borde säljas på apotek världen över.« Sinziana Ravini, Göteborgs-Posten »Melissa Broders essäer är ledsamma och obekväma och fantastiska på ett helt eget vis. De blottlägger så mycket om hur det är att vara människa.« Roxane Gay »2016 års bästa bok.« Lena Dunham »Schamaner, kristaller och yoga blandas med amfetamin, antidepressiva läkemedel och dagsfyllor. Ska du ge en present till en kvinna mellan 15 och 40 är Melissa Broders bok ett givet val.« Ida Therén, Svenska Dagbladet

Named a Best Book of 2023 by The New York Times ("incandescent...hilarious...a triumph"), Oprah Daily ("surreal, absurd, lucid, and wise"), Vanity Fair ("Broder [is] a genius and a sorceress"), and more! From the visionary author of Milk Fed and The Pisces, a darkly funny novel about grief and a “magical tale of survival” (Publishers Weekly, starred review).In Melissa Broder’s astonishingly profound new novel, a woman arrives alone at a Best Western seeking respite from an emptiness that plagues her. She has fled to the California high desert to escape a cloud of sorrow—for both her father in the ICU and a husband whose illness is worsening. What the motel provides, however, is not peace but a path discovered on a nearby hike. Out along the sun-scorched trail, the narrator encounters a towering cactus whose size and shape mean it should not exist in California. Yet the cactus is there, with a gash through its side that beckons like a familiar door. So she enters it. What awaits her inside this mystical succulent sets her on a journey at once desolate and rich, hilarious, and poignant. Death Valley is Melissa Broder at her most imaginative, most universal, and finest, and is “a journey unlike any you’ve read before” (Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah, author of Friday Black).
