Fiction/Poetry. " If a book can be yummy & brilliant, of course this is that. Reading THE ROSY MEDALLIONS I felt I had come upon a world with so many insides, moments forged, then strewn, by an alienated pleasure seeking 'I.' This author's perspective ranges back and forth over her life and memories like a hungry camera, doggily attracted to instances of beauty, cruelty and aeons of female privacy. Camille Roy's a pioneer in the new literature which used to be called autobiography, poetry, theater, prose or even the essay. See all their walls submissively crumble on her trek towards a gaudy piecemeal something resembling truth for the new dark ages and some light at the end of the tunnel"-Eileen Myles.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
Camille Roy is a writer of poetry and narrative, of essays and autobiography, of work for theater and art exhibit catalogues. In this canny book, characters lurch, lust, and power through line breaks and paragraph breaks. Single words arrest then force the reader to reexamine standard definitions of story and poem, of girl and boy, of consent and abuse, of fantasy. These are sharp, demanding, uncomfortable texts that reward a reader's daring.
