Description
A vivid and unflinching portrayal of life in prison, Attic is a powerful coming-of-age story told through the eyes of Kay, a young woman who finds herself incarcerated after trying to cash a bad check.
As she navigates the harsh realities of her new surroundings, Kay forms alliances and rivalries with the other inmates, and the lines between past and present begin to blur. Through Dunn's visceral prose, we experience the space in which Kay is held, and the lives that are changed forever.
This debut novel from acclaimed author Katherine Dunn was critically lauded when it was first published in 1970, and its raw power and emotional depth continue to resonate with readers today.
