Описание:

The village has lied. William has lied. It is not because I am undeserving. Not because I am young and they are old. God has given them nothing. I know this now.

Knives in Hens is a brutal fable set in a timeless spartan rural community. First staged at the Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh in June 1995, before transferring to the Bush Theatre, London, in November 1995, the play was playwright David Harrower's first professionally produced work. It has been staged in twenty-five countries around the world and is widely acknowledged as a modern Scottish classic.

A remarkable play about the transformative power of knowledge and an emerging consciousness as the world moves from rural to the urban and industrial.

With an introduction by Mark Fisher.

Описание: Harrower was right about "In Certain Circles" being well written, but surely wrong to take its superb style for granted, as if mere literary muscle memoryThe book belongs with her best work, with "The Watch Tower" and "The Long Prospect" It] is more explicit than Harrower s earlier work about ideological tensions between men and women. It is also broader in scope and not as angrywiser and less hopeless. James Wood, "New Yorker"
Like a treasure from an unearthed time capsuleHarrower is one of the great Australian writers of the postwar era...Harrower's fearsome objectivity and her bristling, beautiful prose come from modernist masters like Katherine Mansfield and Elizabeth BowenZoe's struggle, her suffering, her hard-earned knowledge are sharp and alive. You feel the book must have been written last week rather than last century. "Wall St Journal"
'With its flavor of Henry James, Harrower's rediscovered story is an odd, brittle yet impressive piece of work that exposes the complex passions beneath a drawing-room-scenario surface.'"Kirkus Reviews"
Harrower s prose is watchful, witty, unillusioned, exultant. Its healthful vitality vivid, accurate, alive to irony is a dashing stand against its subject matter: human perversity, so often squalid, senseless, swallowing all meaning. The reader marvels at its balance, its sinuousness, as each fresh wave hits.There is a note of elegy in all of Harrower s work, even as the adrenaline flows, and a lyricism reminiscent of F.Scott Fitzgerald at his desperate best. "Times Literary Supplement"
""In Certain Circles"" is the novel Elizabeth Harrower wrote after the release of "The Watch Tower." The author withdrew this novel before publication in 1971, and it has languished in a library for four decades.

""In Certain Circles"" is an intense psychological drama about family and love, tyranny, and freedom. Set amid the lush gardens and grand stone houses that line the north side of Sydney Harbour, it follows the lives of four unforgettable characters whose fates are intertwined.

Harrower is one of Australia's most important postwar writers. Never before published, ""In Certain Circles"" is one of the most anticipated releases of the season. Text's Classic edition of "The Watch Tower" has been reviewed in literary pages across the globe.
