In \"a strangely ageless world somewhere between Emily Dickinson and David Lynch\" (Blake Butler) a cleaning woman at a museum of art nurtures aspirations to do more than simply dust the paintings around her. She dreams of having the liberty to explore them in writing and so must find a way to win herself the time and security to use her mind. She escapes her lot by marrying a rich man but having gained a husband a house high society and a maid she finds that her new life of privilege is no less constrained. Not only has she taken up different forms of time - consuming labor - social and erotic - but she is now however passively forcing other women to clean up after her. Perhaps another and more drastic solution is necessary? Reminiscent of a lost Victorian classic in miniature yet taking equal inspiration from such modern authors as Jean Rhys Octavia Butler Clarice Lispector and Jean Genet Amina Cain's Indelicacy is at once a ghost story without a ghost a fable without a moral and a down - to - earth investigation of the barriers faced by women in both life and literature. It is a novel about seeing class desire anxiety pleasure friendship and the battle to find one's true calling.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: Indelicacy A Novel\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Cain Amina\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Picador\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781250785718\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 176 Pages\u003cbr\u003e\nLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 2\/9\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Modern \u0026amp; Contemporary Fiction","brand":"Cain Amina","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49614838038833,"sku":"IN-G-9781250785718","price":14.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9781250785718.jpg?v=1724616107","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781250785718-indelicacy-a-novel","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
