Reseña del libro "In Transit (en Inglés)"

A gender-bending satire from one of Ireland's most brilliant and outspoken writers, as fresh and thought-provoking today as it was on its original publication in 1969.Set in an airport lounge, In Transit follows contemporary traveller Evelyn Hillary O'Rooley, who has "lost" his/her gender, prompting him/her to perform a series of unsuccessful, yet bizarrely hilarious, philosophical and anatomical tests to rediscover it. Divided into four symphony sections, Brigid Brophy surrounds this simple plot device with an endless stream of puns, allusions, and experimentation with narrative consciousness, as our protagonist finds him/herself in a situation quite similar to a modern Orlando.Widely considered the novel which catapulted Brophy to renown as a postmodern writer, In Transit is a textual labyrinth--littered with word games, metafictional events, and surrealist encounters that challenge readers preconceived notions of gender, identity, and reality. With a new introduction by [TK], Dalkey Archive Press is thrilled to reintroduce Brophy's relentlessly clever and prescient masterpiece to contemporary readers.
