Summary

Camilla Grudova: The Puppet's Alphabet

Surreal, slightly dislocated and exquisitely imagined, "The Puppet's Alphabet" is a collection of stories. Dolls, sewing machines, canned food, mirrors, bodies that don't work - these are motifs that appear again and again in stories that are at the same time childishly naive, but also grotesque and very dark. In the story "Paranje", which opens the collection, an unusual women's revolution takes place. It follows "Queen of Mice", in which the heroine, after major life changes, experiences a special metamorphosis. In Agatha's Machine, two schoolgirls retreat to an attic room and use a sewing machine to summon the characters of Pierrot and an angel. Camille Grudova's storytelling is highly imaginative, incredibly original and often extremely uncomfortable.

***

An insightful collage artist with an eye for the comic, Grudova draws inspiration for her paintings from Victorian and Edwardian aesthetics, while her irony and reflection on the inequality in the relationship between men and women are surprisingly current.

Publishers Weekly

Imagine a world where are the Brothers Grimm, two extraordinary, black-eyed twin sisters in torn stockings and hand-stitched dresses. Knowledgeable, baroque, perfect, bold, smart, refined, Camilla Grudova is the natural successor of Angela Carter. Her style is effortlessly understated and wonderfully seductive.
