Vit Hopley – Författare

Wednesday Afternoon is a collection of prose that introduces awkward perspectives on all manner of things: a house taken on an arduous journey across a frozen lake, a puff of dust released from yesterday's socks, a death in a basement, a gathering of strangers. Vit Hopley pays attention to every detail. She writes on sitting, standing and lying down, but most significantly she creates a stillness that is almost photographic.

`Blinding pools of black light dissolve into a rapid flux of light and shadow: a flurry of wings, phantoms, angelic hosts or attacking geese...' Blissful Islands is a work of prose calling upon the revelatory force of language. Open to the event of `now' each and every word matters as the extraordinary comes to life in the familiar.
