Full Description
"I ask the internet the difference between something being too close to
the bone and something being too close to home." This funny and
terrifying book is a study of what and how things mean, and don't, in
our latest machine age. In it something unforgiveable has happened.
The main character, seemingly numbed but bristling with blade-sharp
understanding, is only just holding things together and trying to work
out how to heal. So she travels to Japan in a search for the other half of
a fragmented family. Or is it the world itself that has fragmented?
Pink Soap examines the massive everyday pressures we're all under
with real wit and style. It is pristine, brilliant, smart beyond belief. I
sense it becoming as much a classic for now as Plath's The Bell Jar has
been for the decades behind us." Ali Smith
