After Birth by Elisa Albert
After Birth is a romp through dangerous waters, in which passages of hilarity are shadowed by the dark nights of earliest motherhood, those months so tremulous with both new love and the despairing loss of one's identity to read it is an absorbing, entertaining, and thought-provoking experience. Lydia Davis, author of Can t and Won tBukowski wrote that he preferred people who scream when they burn, and nobody burns, or screams, like Elisa Albert a fiercely intelligent, dark, and funny woman unafraid of her own anger. Shalom Auslander, author of Hope: A Tragedy
A deep, funny novel about the terrors and exhilarations of love in all its forms. Elisa Albert writes with startling clarity and furious wit about marriage, motherhood, and friendship, illuminating these familiar landscapes with lightning flashes of revelation. Jenny Offill, author of Dept. of Speculation
A voluptuous, hilarious, scaldingly and exhilaratingly honest account of new motherhood, emotional exile, and the complex romance of female friendship. I'm a huge Elisa Albert fan, and in her latest she has perfected a tonal pivot that whips the reader from laughter to revelation in a sentence. Karen Russell, author of Swamplandia!
Darkly funny and impossibly wise, Elisa Albert creates a visceral sense of entrapment, a spot-on account of life as a woman. After Birth is dangerous, gripping, and essential The Bell Jar of our time. Diana Spechler, author of Skinny
