Opis
There was a unicycle hanging from a metal rack, its lemon-coloured wheel hovering above my head. The last thing I remembered was that party in Manhattan, somewhere in the West Village, drinking odd-looking cocktails and eating walnut cookies . . . Everything seemed vague.
In New York City, an Albanian interpreter cannot help but become entangled in her clients' - struggles, despite her husband's cautions. When she reluctantly agrees to work with Alfred, a Kosovar torture survivor, during his therapy sessions, his nightmares stir up her own buried memories; while an impulsive attempt to help a Kurdish poet leads to a risky encounter and a reckless plan.
As ill-fated decisions stack up, jeopardising the nameless narrator's marriage and mental health, she takes a spontaneous trip to reunite with her mother in Albania, where her life in the United States is put into stark relief. When she returns to face the consequences of her actions, she must question what is real and what is not.
Ruminative and propulsive, Misinterpretation interrogates the darker legacies of family and country, and the boundary between compassion and self-preservation.
'Hauntingly realistic . . . strange, obsessive.' - Elisa Shua Dusapin
'A heart-stopping, emotional thriller . . . violence hovers in this book's borders. I loved it.' - Rita Bullwinkel
'An absolutely gorgeous novel, taut as a thriller, lovely as a watercolour . . . I devoured this book.' - Jennifer Croft
'A superb chronicler of post-national existence . . . deft and insightful.' - Idra Novey
