Description

The Details, shortlisted for the 2024 International Booker Prize, is a novel that weaves together the fragments of memory and experience that make up a life. A famous broadcaster writes a forgotten love letter, a friend disappears, a lover leaves something unexpected behind, and a woman is consumed by her own anxiety. In the throes of a high fever, she is struck with an urge to revisit a particular novel from her past. Inside the book, she finds an inscription from an ex-girlfriend, and pages from her past begin to flip, full of things she cannot forget and people who cannot be forgotten. As the story unfolds, four portraits are revealed, each one unveiling the complexities of human experience. With exhilarating and provocative prose, Ia Genberg explores the intricacies of memory, love, and identity, creating a powerful celebration of what it means to be human.
