Synopsis

In the stark, poetic voice that garnered her novel Anatomy. Monotony. cult status in Norway and abroad, writer and performance artist Edy Poppy offers a vision of sexuality and alienation unlike any other.

The sharp, sensual stories of Coming. Apart. chart the unraveling of relationships in all their complexity. From rural Norway to Berlin, Edy Poppy follows characters caught between intimacy and escape-lovers who drift, clash, fracture. A couple's erotic games slip into something darker. A woman retreats to the countryside, shadowed by memory. Another navigates obsession, ambivalence, and solitude with uneasy clarity.

Written in a voice that is both visceral and exacting, Edy Poppy's first story collection moves along the fault lines of connection and desire. Blurring fiction and lived experience, Poppy offers a fierce meditation on what it means to stay--or leave.
