Description

In 1990s Norway, the façade of suburban tranquility conceals a complex web of desires and anxieties. A group of teenage girls becomes lost in the forest, their encounter with the unknown precipitating a descent into surreal and unsettling events. As the boundaries between reality and fantasy blur, a coven of witches begins to stir up malevolent forces, while a time-travelling artist arrives in town, pursued by his own troubled past. Jenny Hval's novel is a radical fusion of queer feminist theory and experimental horror, exploring themes of alienation, queerness, and the unsettling nature of desire. With its surreal prose and richly detailed world-building, "Girls Against God" is a thought-provoking and deeply unsettling read that challenges conventional notions of identity, art, and human existence.
