And Now You Can Go: A Novel Vida, Vendela
Very Good.
Hardcover. Stated 1st edition hardcover with dustjacket 2003 Knopf. Superclean; no marks; pages bright; binding tight; appears unread. Only light shelfwear. 190pp. Language: English. 'Ellis, the 21-year-old narrator of Vida's lean, absorbing first novel, is forced at gunpoint to sit and talk with a man in a New York City park as he contemplates a murder/suicide. Like Scheherazade, she reels off half-remembered poems to try to distract the man and keep herself alive. Though nothing more happens on that park bench, she carries on as if treading water in an emotional whirlpool, waiting to get sucked under. A grad student at Columbia, Ellis goes through the various routines expected of the victim of violent crime: reporting the event to the campus police, seeking succor from friends, going to a therapist. But the problem of how to define herself--as a victim or not--lingers and begins to seep into other parts of her life. ... Despite the high drama of the start, this is an unsentimental tale, in which the classic brush with death elicits a sense of awe as well as anger, and conventional notions of therapy and reconciliation are overturned. ... [T]his remains an intriguing and auspicious debut.'--Publishers Weekly, 2003.
