Books by Anne Garreta

An intimate, sensuous exploration of memory and desire, delving into loves and lusts past, by award-winning Oulipo member Anne Garreta.

Garreta's first novel in a decade follows the mania that descends upon a family when the father finds himself in possession of a concrete mixer. As he seeks to modernize every aspect of their lives, disaster strikes when the younger sister is subsumed by concrete.Through puns, wordplay, and dizzying verbal effect, Garrta reinvents the novel form and blurs the line between spoken and written language in an attempt to confront the elasticity of communication.

A landmark literary event: the first novel by a female member of Oulipo in English, a sexy genderless love story.
