Remainland: Selected Poems of Aase Berg [Paperback]

Aase Berg (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 1, 2005

Remainland showcases poetry from four volumes by Aase Berg, one of Swede's most celebrated and subversive young writers. From the wrecked fairy-tale-scape of With Deer to the pregnancy allegory Transfer Fat, from the sci-fi naturalism of to the catastrophic oasis of Uppland, Berg works language into miniature grotesques which invert the truisms of contemporary society. Her compulsive inventiveness provides an excoriating challenge to all cultures of complacency.
