This collection of fifteen stories from the cult author of Ice examines war and mental illness from her signature surreal point of view. Inspired by Kavans own experiences nursing traumatized Second World War soldiers and as a patient in various asylums, these pieces communicate the claustrophobia and isolation of life amidst conflict or caught in the gears of an institutional machine - but also the stunning beauty of physical experience, as her cast of outsiders find themselves pulled back into the world despite its hostility.In the title story, a young man living in an asylum must navigate the often unreadable reality around him, taking cues from malevolent flowers and inhumanly brisk nurses, as we are left to wonder whether the cure harms more than the disease. Outside the asylum grounds, institutions still exert terrifying power, as an unnamed refugee tries to navigate a Kafkan bureaucracy to escape a war-ravaged metropolis in Our City, and is distracted from the hopelessness of the task by the beauty of silvery barrage balloons and young women at their windows. Humanity goes to war with nature, too, in The Gannets, a brief, disturbing story that predates Daphne du Mauriers The Birds, featuring a band of impoverished children engaged in a horrific game with unnaturally predatory seabirds.At times cleanly modernist, at others ornately strange and dream-like, Kavans writing is always propulsive, powered by the tension between the menace closing in around her characters, and the incomparable loveliness of the strange world they inhabit.

A los veintiséis años, a Anabé le dijeron que tenía cáncer en la cara. Ese fue el principio de todo.Este libro es el testimonio real de esa experiencia. Pero no es un libro de autoayuda, ni un diario terapeutico, ni una leccion de superacion. La ultima planta es una novela de autoficcion que transforma la enfermedad en literatura, la rutina hospitalaria en teatro del absurdo, el miedo en humor, el dolor en deseo.Aqui hay pasillos infinitos y hospitales laberinticos, pero tambien hay sexo, infancia, panderetas, entrevistas imaginarias con Dios y bodas sin pareja. Es una obra sobre el proceso de madurar y los cambios vitales. La narracion se construye como un juego de generos: una mezcla libre y valiente de fabula, ensayo, diario, poesia y teatro. Generos para contar lo que no se puede decir de una sola forma.Porque todo parte de la literatura. Y todo hasta lo mas crudo puede convertirse en ella.
