A young artist in the midst of a breakdown escapes to the Irish countryside in this “cleareyed, beautiful rendering of a woman struggling against despair” (Kirkus). Shortlisted for the Goldsmiths Prize A twenty-something artist, Frankie is struggling to cope with urban life—and life in general. So she retreats to her family’s rural house on “turbine hill,” vacant since her grandmother’s death three years earlier. Surrounded by countryside and wild creatures, she can finally grapple with the chain of events that led her here—her shaky mental health, her difficult time in art school—and maybe even regain her footing in art and life. Reconsidering the relevance of art and closely examining the natural world around her, Frankie begins to pick up photography once more. With “prose that makes sure we look and listen,” Sara Baume has written an intimate and powerful novel that is also a meditation on wildness, community, the art world, and mental illness (Atlantic). “Fascinating, because of the cumulative power of the precise, pleasingly rhythmic sentences, and the unpredictable intelligence of the narrator’s mind.” —Guardian, UK

Spill Simmer Falter Wither

By: Sara Baume

An old loner and his misfit dog spend a year on the road in this acclaimed Irish novel of “singing prose [and] two unlikely Beckettian wanderers” (The Guardian, UK). It is springtime, and an isolated man shunned by his village has forged a connection with the one-eyed dog he’s taken into his tightly shuttered life. But as their friendship grows, their small seaside community becomes suspicious. And when an accident is misconstrued as menace, this pair of outcasts must take to the road. As they travel from town to town, sleeping in the car and subsisting on canned spaghetti, the man confides in One Eye the strange and melancholy story of his life. With its gorgeously poetic prose, Spill Simmer Falter Wither has garnered enthusiastic praise in its native Ireland, where the Irish Times pointed to Baume’s “astonishing power with language” and praised it as “a novel bursting with brio, braggadocio and bite.” “Baume has a rare ability to look afresh at muted scenes and ordinary objects… the book hums with its own distinctiveness.”—The Guardian, UK
