England With eggstacy
so interesting and clever especially in its play with language and how it embodies its own psychology i m honestly still chewing England With Eggs
Somewhere in England confined to a room with empty chairs and an old telephone is I I wasn t born here English is their second language They ve given up writing England With Eggs depicts the psychological aftermath of migration through a personal vortex of foreign experiences Oscillating between narrator and character Franz Kafka and long distance calls I spends sleepless nights drawing eggs rearranging the chairs and talking to an uncanny voice on the phone The isolated protagonist s inner life is fractured notions of place and history grow ever fragile language ever less certain Torn between stubborn expectations and the reality of a foreign country England With Eggs unfolds against a silent backdrop of austerity colonialism and xenophobia It is a study of acceptance a reminder that sometimes the things we flee from are the ones we carry along on our journey England With EggsAdrian Bridget is a writer and translator Publications include Treatment 2019 and TEXTS THAT SHOULDN T BE READ OUT LOUD 2018 Their novel Childs Replay was published in a limited edition in 2022 Adrian lives and works in Bristol UK Adrian Bridget is a writer and translator Publications include Treatment 2019 and TEXTS THAT SHOULDN T BE READ OUT LOUD 2018 Their novel Child s Replay was published in a limited edition in 2022 Adrian lives and works in Bristol UK site_link.
