Description: Please Read This Leaflet Carefully by Karen Havelin Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description For years, Ive considered it an established fact that the female body is a pain in the ass. Publisher Description Please Read This Leaflet Carefully, the debut novel from Norwegian writer and translator Karen Havelin, is the story of a woman whose body has become her enemy. We meet Laura Fjellstad first as she works and cares for her young daughter, while struggling with debilitating pain and endometriosis, an invisible chronic illness. As the novel tracks backward, the reader meets Lauras younger and somewhat healthier selves (a hopeful bride in New York, a baby queer in Paris, a figure skater in Norway), and uncovers her tireless work to gain control of her identity, her illness and the conflicting demands made by doctors, friends, lovers and family. Havelins debut novel etches details of daily life into a gripping and darkly humorous bildungsroman about the intricacies of love and life in a fragile body. Man Booker Prize-winning author Paul Beatty says, Most books about disease try to describe the pain; told in poetic whisper, Karen Havelins debut novel lets pain speak for itself. Its a book that dares you be nosy, to eavesdrop and listen in to a stoic young woman whom no one noticed until she began to disappear, her body disintegrating from the inside out until theres nothing left but searing agony and almost impossibly--a burning triumph. Jarringly funny and perceptive; an intimate reckoning with the inner demons and precarity of everyday life, unpacked through the very specific lens of a woman with chronic pain. Author Biography Now living in Oslo, KAREN HAVELIN is a writer and translator originally from Bergen, Norway. She attended Skrivekunst-akademiet i Hordaland, and has a Bachelors degree in French, Literature, and Gender Studies from the University of Bergen and University of Paris Sorbonne, and an MFA in Fiction from Columbia University.
