Produktbeskrivning
''Vivian is one of the most fascinating characters I''ve read in contemporary fiction: self-aware and lost, cutting and wounded, resilient and vulnerable - all those misfit bits that add up to the whole of a real human being. Reading Post-Traumatic feels like an illicit thrill.'' Dawnie Walton, author of The Final Revival of Opal & Nev
Can Vivian find happiness after what has been done to her?
To the outside observer, Vivian is a success story - a dedicated lawyer who advocates for mentally ill patients at a psychiatric hospitalPrivately, Vivian contends with the memories and after-effects of her bad childhood, compounded by the everyday stresses of being a Black, Latinx woman living in a white society. She lives in a constant state of hypervigilant awareness that makes even a simple train ride a heart-pounding drama.
For years, Vivian has self-medicated with a mix of dating, dieting, dark humour and smoking weed with her best friend, JaneBut after a family reunion prompts Vivian to take a bold step, she finds herself alone in new and terrifying ways, without even Jane to confide in, and she starts to unravel.
Will she find a way to repair what matters most to her?
A debut from a stunning talent, Post-Traumatic is a new kind of survivor narrative, featuring a complex heroine who is blazingly, indelibly aliveReaders who loved Open Water, A Little Life or Luster will adore this razor-sharp book about the aftermath of trauma that somehow manages to brim with warmth, laughter, and hope.
What people are saying about Post-Traumatic:
''Deeply original, socially important, psychologically revelatory, propulsively and idiosyncratically readablePost-Traumatic is a gem.'' Elif Batuman, author of The Idiot
''Stunning and riotous, Post-Traumatic took me right under and then revived me, like only the best fiction can do. Johnson''s delicious, meticulous prose delivers such intimacy and hilarity on the page, I laughed and cried all the way throughThis is a raw, brilliant, and unforgettable debut. I love everything about it!'' Deesha Philyaw, author of The Secret Lives of Church Ladies
''Chantal V. Johnson has blessed us with a cool, stylish, and violently funny novel about survivalIt made me smile, laugh, cringe, shiver, and think. Like life, Post-Traumatic is richly triggering and highly recommended.'' Myriam Gurba, author of Mean
''Post-Traumatic is swift, caustic, charismatic, beautiful, terrifying, and so incredibly funnyIt learns and unlearns itself continually, propelled by a restless main character whose gaze withers the world, the reader, and more achingly, herself. Johnson composes such precise, pathologically consumable prose that I couldn''t stop reading, even if it was the way I''d watch a scary movie: through my fingers.'' Tommy Pico, author of IRL and Junk
