Deborah Levy has a new novel coming out in April on Gertrude Stein:

Not a huge fan of Levy (although I know people who recommend Hot Milk). But was reading Gertrude Stein's Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas over the holidays, so this will be a good follow-on read. Curious to see how Levy approaches Stein.

Very taken by this labyrinth of a story, my third Levy, which does remarkable things with the unreliable-narrator device. The rug-pull effect will discombobulate readers looking for something straightforward, but I loved its elusive, echoing quality, and line by line it's so playful and precise

Lovely article: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2023/apr/04/how-deborah-levy-can-change-your-life

I haven't yet read anything by Levy but will very soon remedy that.

"She had gone too far into the unhappiness of the world to start all over again." —Deborah Levy, Swimming Home

This is an odd, engrossing, unpredictable drama that feels like it's taking place on multiple planes. Shades of Muriel Spark and Ali Smith but very much its own beast
