Cleanness (inbunden, eng)

<p><b><i>Cleanness</i> revisits and expands the world of Garth Greenwell&rsquo;s beloved debut, <i>What Belongs to You</i>, declared &lsquo;an instant classic&rsquo; by the <i>New York Times Book Review</i>. In exacting, elegant prose, Greenwell transcribes the strange dialects of desire, cementing his stature as one of our most vital living writers.</b><br><br><b>&lsquo;This is an exceptional work of fiction, which places Greenwell among the very best contemporary novelists.&rsquo; </b><b>&ndash; </b><b><i>Independent</i></b><br><br>Sofia, Bulgaria, a landlocked city in southern Europe, stirs with hope and impending upheaval.

Soviet buildings crumble, wind scatters sand from the far south, and political protesters flood the streets with song.<br><br>In this atmosphere of disquiet, an American teacher navigates a life transformed by the discovery and loss of love. As he prepares to leave the place he&rsquo;s come to call home, he grapples with the intimate encounters that have marked his years abroad, each bearing uncanny reminders of his past.

A queer student&rsquo;s confession recalls his own first love, a stranger&rsquo;s seduction devolves into paternal sadism, and a romance with a younger man opens, and heals, old wounds. Each echo reveals startling insights about what it means to seek connection: with those we love, with the places we inhabit, and with our own fugitive selves.<br><br><b>Chosen as a book of the year in the <i>New Yorker</i>, <i>Daily Telegraph</i>, <i>Observer </i>and <i>Irish Times</i>.<br><br>Pre-order Garth Greenwell's profound and luminous new novel, <i>Small Rain</i>, now!</b></p>
