About this product
Product Information
"Jessen's writing is graceful, unhurried, convincing." --Kirkus Reviews Ida Jessen follows the inner lives of several women on the brink, or the sidelines, of catastrophe in this prize-winning collection of stories Written with the same narrative generosity, the same belief in the dignity and voice of her characters as Marilynne Robinson From the winner of the Lifetime Award from the Danish Arts Foundation and the 2017 Critics' Choice Award, Ida Jessen's A Postcard for Annie traces the tangled emotional lives of women facing moral dilemmas. A young woman witnesses a terrible accident with unexpected consequences, a mother sits with her unconscious son in a hospital room, a pair of sisters remember their mother's hands braiding their hair. In seaside tourist villages and in snowy cities, turbulence destabilizes composed lives, whether through outright violence between strangers or habitual domination between loved ones. Jessen fills each story with bracing passages that teem with the living world, only to become concentrated in the unfixed, vacillating matter of a human psyche caught between silence and speech, paralysis and action.

Reviews
"In A Postcard for Annie Ida Jessen has honed to perfection her own quite unique form of psychological realism, in a work in which, once more, the women take centre stage; in which secrets, irrational forces and often anything but sensible explanations prevail--and in which she proves herself to be a brilliant depictor of people who find themselves in situations that are both familiar and far-out." -- Danish Literary Magazine "Danish writer Ida Jessen's A Postcard for Annie has at its heart a possible suicide and the reaction of witnesses, especially the narrator--a fascinating narrative with various unexpected twists." -- The Irish Times Praise for Jessen's A Change of Time , translated by Martin Aitken "In A Change of Time , Ida Jessen has crafted a masterpiece of the epistolary novel told in diary entries. Each log is rich with detail ... Here, one-liners--beautifully translated from the Danish by Martin Aitken--are deeply felt." -- Bibi Deitz, Bookforum "The text shines as an honest reckoning with the death of a spouse--but one in a deeply companionless marriage--and the life of two people who shared little but space... Jessen, the Danish translator of Marilynne Robinson, among others, proves to have a keen Robinsonian streak of her own. She writes with the same narrative generosity, the same belief in the dignity and voice of characters that might usually be dismissed." -- Joel Pinckney, The Millions "Wit and vivid descriptions are presented in equal measure, as issues of sexual desire and the need for both solitude and companionship come to the fore. An engaging, honest, and beautifully written look at love, loss, and self-realization." -- Kirkus "Jessen is a talented and empathetic writer (and kudos must be given to translator Aitken, whose translation is supple and luminous), and has imbued a quiet story about a woman finding herself after her husband's death with poignancy and stunning humanity." -- Publishers Weekly , starred review "Imagine picking up a woman's diary and trying to decipher her character. Imagine teasing out enough from the details to understand her life, her loves, and the circumstances that have made her who she is... Ida Jessen's novel A Change of Time brings this story to life with spare, yet beautiful, prose superbly translated from the Danish by Martin Aitken." -- M.K. Tod, Washington Independent Review of Books "Weaving together diary entries, poems, letters (both opened and unopened) and song, Ida Jessen's A Change of Time , translated from the Danish by Martin Aitken, is a stirring reflection on death and mourning, loneliness, and female identity in a changing 20th century Denmark." -- Asymptote Journal "A Change of Time is a book of masterful restraint, and this restraint is a kind of tenderness. It is a book that understands that desire permeates everything - nothing human can be cleansed of it; and that sometimes love clings most inextricably to the smallest places - misjudgment, invisibility, loneliness. It is a book that deepens and dignifies both our innocence and our fallibility." -- Anne Michaels, "Jessen's writing is graceful, unhurried, convincing. The narratives unfold in unexpected ways . . . The complexities of love and the passage of time enrich this insightful, original collection." --Kirkus Reviews "In A Postcard for Annie Ida Jessen has honed to perfection her own quite unique form of psychological realism, in a work in which, once more, the women take centre stage; in which secrets, irrational forces and often anything but sensible explanations prevail--and in which she proves herself to be a brilliant depictor of people who find themselves in situations that are both familiar and far-out." -- Danish Literary Magazine "Danish writer Ida Jessen's A Postcard for Annie has at its heart a possible suicide and the reaction of witnesses, especially the narrator--a fascinating narrative with various unexpected twists." -- The Irish Times Praise for Jessen's A Change of Time , translated by Martin Aitken "In A Change of Time , Ida Jessen has crafted a masterpiece of the epistolary novel told in diary entries.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
