Description
Deborah Levy's Early Levy brings together two groundbreaking works that showcase her unique voice and vision. Beautiful Mutants is a shimmering allegory of its time, exploring broken dreams and self-destructive desires through the lives of contemporary urban pilgrims. Meanwhile, Swallowing Geography charts a new world in motion, with its protagonist always on the road, travelling Europe with typewriter in hand. Through these two works, Levy offers a dislocated and irreverent perspective on the world around her. Her writing is marked by an explosive extravagance of imagination and a refusal to be weighed down by rationalist or aesthetic baggage. This is a world on the brink of destruction, but one that is also capable of great beauty and humour. Deborah Levy's fiction has been widely praised for its innovative style and thought-provoking themes. Her work has been staged by the Royal Shakespeare Company, and she has written numerous highly acclaimed books, including Things I Don't Want to Know and The Unloved.
