I disliked reading these novellas or early novels as much as I disliked reading Swimming home. I don't understand what the hype is about with this author. ( ) This collection brings together two Levy's first two published novels (or novellas), which I will review separately. They were both very interesting in terms of understanding her development as a writer. Beautiful Mutants (1989) This is Levy's first published book, and shows that the talent that came to fruition with Swimming Home and Hot Milk was there from the start. Like all of her books, it is full of strikingly visual scenes, only loosely linked by any form of narrative, giving the whole a dreamlike quality. The subject of this one is London at the height of Thatcherism, with all of the new barbarity of the new elite laid bare. A brilliantly intense surreal satire - my only criticism is that I would have liked it to be longer! Swallowing Geography (1993) Levy's second novella is even shorter, and is a more cryptic and elusive story, which is episodic, describing a female traveller known only as J.K. and her relationships with various lovers. I found this one quite difficult to follow, so less satisfying, but that probably says more about my limitations as a reader than about the quality of the book. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
