So Lucky (Handheld Modern Ser. #2) (PDF)

Synopsis

Winner of the Washington State Book Award 2019 ‘A compact, brutal story of losing power and creating community … So Lucky is beautifully written, with a flexible, efficient precision that embodies the protagonist’s voice and character.’ New York Times Book Review ‘A short, fast-paced whirlwind of a novel ... Spine tingling and in places downright terrifying.’ ― Independent Mara Tagarelli is on top of her world. She’s the head of a multimillion-dollar AIDS foundation, an accomplished martial artist, and happily married. She has never met a problem she can’t solve — until suddenly she can’t solve any of them. In a single week her wife leaves her, she is diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, and she loses her job. Now everything begins to feel like a threat. At first, she thinks it’s just her newfound sense of vulnerability. Then she realises the threat of violence is real, deadly, and heading straight for her. Nicola Griffith’s So Lucky is fiction from the front lines, incandescent and urgent, a narrative juggernaut that rips through sentiment to expose the savagery of the experience of becoming disabled and dismissed. Originally published by Farrar Straus Giroux on 15 May 2018, this is the exclusive UK edition, with three bonus essays by Nicola Griffith, about writing So Lucky, disability, ableism, and #criplit. Nicola Griffith’s previous novels have won the Nebula, Lambda, Tiptree and Premio Italia awards, among others.
