Hval is an expert at creating and sustaining atmospherics across genres, and Paradise Rot is no exception. Paradise Rot is an odd microcosm inside an ordinary world.. It is, in many ways, a novel about finding and then choosing a self; it also shows the pull of unexpected queer desire and the dismantling of boundaries that draw requires. But most of all, in the way that a microscope reveals an unsettling truth about the familiar (that it's teeming with life you never expected), Paradise Rot is hard to forget. I’ve explained how you can identify each of these issues below and provided the best solutions to help you grow healthy strelitzia plants indoors and outdoors. Is it easy to care for a bird of paradise plant? With the release of the newly translated Paradise Rot, we can experience her artistic evolution beyond the shape of a timeline, as a series of challenging examinations melting and bending in on themselves... Listening to-or now reading-her work feels like getting jettisoned into an underwater reality that fantastically mirrors our own. It would be entirely terrifying, if exploring it weren't so much fun.

Welcome to tropical paradise. Welcome to The Isle of St. Agrippina. White sandy beaches. Delicious blended drinks.

Paradise Rot is not necessarily a pleasurable read, blurring the lines of the coming-of-age genre with psychological horror and rendered in such lucid, impressionistically descriptive prose that merely reading it makes you feel fairly woozy. The skeleton of Paradise Rot—the ostensible plot—tells the story of Jo, a young Norwegian woman who moves to a small town in the United Kingdom to study biology, and moves in with Carral, a mysterious older girl, who lives in a renovated old brewery.

Paradise Rot, Hval’s first novel, was a lurid hothouse of a thriller about a female student’s sexual awakening, likened to the “theory fictions” of Chris Kraus and Maggie Nelson. Girls Against God starts out like the teenage diary of an unrepentant suburban goth, a self-designated “Gloomiest Child Queen” who is in love with hate (“I hate God”, “I hate the Christian Democratic party”). Are these the early outpourings of a Valerie Solanas-style misandrist? Or will this be a vinegary coming-of-age story, a Scandinavian version of Daniel Clowes’s graphic novel Ghost World? Who is Jo? A young Norwegian biology student who arrives to study in a coastal town called Ayebourne for what feels like an unspecified but limited amount of time. Hval makes it clear that this mystery town is in a part of the world full of native English speakers, but typing “Ayebourne” into Google leaves me empty-handed: Showing results for “airborne.” Search instead for ayebourne? No dice.I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. I reviewed this book in conjunction with a blog tour with Bewitching Book Tours. Norwegian artist Jenny Hval presents a version of female sexuality in which carnal impulses, anxieties and the female/male perspective are often knotted together.
