About this product
Product Information
Nina, a drifter from southern Spain comes to London in search of experience, only to find that the strangest of stories is hiding in her father's loft in Almer?a... A playfully concocted, fast-paced novel committed to the irresistible pleasure of reading, both a celebration and a critique of our relationship to objects (from fetishes, to curios, to commodities, to objectum sexuality, to our becoming cyborgs through our addiction to technology), "Philosophical Toys" travels through different times, countries and experiences as chance leads Nina to encounter time and again the enigmatic nature of things, which end up transforming her into that most rare of species: a female philosopher. Witty and elegiac, "Philosophical Toys" takes the reader on a tour of fetishism, late capitalist culture, Bu?uels films, psychoanalysis, Alzheimer's disease, as well as the avatars of belonging to two cultures, an experience increasingly shared by a myriad of expatriates.

Reviews
Powerful and mysterious.... This novel's headiness might seem daunting, but readers who take a patient approach will find a deeply rewarding and often haunting narrative emerge., "[Medina's] stories are full of literary and pop-cultural references: Rousseau, Cocteau and Shakespeare jostle for space alongside Madonna, Michael Jackson and Pope John Paul II.... The prose, ambiguous and paratactic, is reminiscent of the Argentine writer Luisa Valenzuela." -- Times Literary Supplement, "[Medina's] stories are full of literary and pop-cultural references: Rousseau, Cocteau and Shakespeare jostle for space alongside Madonna, Michael Jackson and Pope John Paul II....
