description
Renowned internationally for her lyrically unsettling novels, PEN/Faulkner Award winner Chloe Aridjis now offers readers her first collection of shorter works, with an introduction by Tom McCarthy Chloe Aridjis’s stories & essays are known to transport readers into liminal, often dreamlike, realms. In this collection of works, we meet a woman guided only by a plastic bag drifting through the streets of Berlin who discovers a nonsense-named bar that is home to papier-mâché monsters & one glass-encased somnambulist. Floating through space, cosmonauts are confronted not only with wonder & astonishment, but tedium & solitude. And in Mexico City, stray dogs animate public spaces, “infusing them with a noble life force.” In her pen, Aridjis turns her eye to expats & outsiders, including artists & writers such as Leonora Carrington, Mavis Gallant, & Beatrice Hastings. Exploring the complexity of exile & urban alienation, Dialogue with a Somnambulist showcases “the rare writer who reinvents herself in each book” (Garth Greenwell) & who is as imaginatively at home in the short form as in her longer fiction.°°°CHLOE ARIDJIS is a Mexican American writer based in London. She is the author of three novels: Book of Clouds, which won the Prix du Premier Roman Étranger in France; Asunder, set in London’s National Gallery; and Sea Monsters, awarded the 2020 PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction. Aridjis has written for various art journals and was guest curator of the Leonora Carrington exhibition at Tate Liverpool.
