Title : A Suspicions River - Laura Kasischke - book
Summary :
Leila is twenty-four years old. She's a receptionist at the Swan Motel in Suspicious River, a quiet little town in Michigan. And for a few dollars more, she can be included in the room rate. She sells her body without passion, without sadness, or greed for money either. Saint and martyr, Leila is beyond her own body, more sensitive to the matter of the world than to men. The key to her descent into hell lies in childhood, and Leila undoubtedly knows that she is replaying her mother's tragic destiny, the parable of Eros and Thanatos at the end of which, perhaps, she will discover who she is... Laura Kasischke delivers here a first novel where hyperrealism, violence, and crudeness are transfigured by a poetic and lyrical universe of exceptional force.
