The faculty of dreams
Sara Stridsberg · Nordica · 2021
It's hard to get into The faculty of dreams, but once you overcome the barrier you enjoy. Sara Striedsberg relies on dialogue and the constant change of registers and scenarios to get us into the lucid and disturbed head of Valerie Solanas, a real character about whom we know two basic facts: in June 1968 shot pop artist Andy Warhol and in 1988 was found dead in a lumpen motel in San Francisco. Almost like a dream, The author recreates Solanas' childhood marked by her father's rape and her mother's absence., her life as a prostitute, and his obsession with eliminating men—incomplete beings—collected in his SCUM manifesto (Society for Cutting Up Men). A woman's delirium, bright, fiery, intelligent, dangerous and contradictory masterfully portrayed in a book originally published in Sweden in 2006 which was a finalist for the Man Booker International last year.
