The Hysterectomy Waltz (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

"It's truly powerful, and acrid, and barbed, and filled with wonderful, and unexpected, turns of phrase and above all it's shocking in its directness and understated anger and sadness and fear… it's an amazing piece of writing."—Cynthia Ozick

The Hysterectomy Waltz (surely a contradiction) reflects what is told to the women in the novel who are about to undergo this surgery: "You will still be able to waltz the night away with your husbands," and "you don't need all that equipment once you've used it to have kids." The book itself is full of irony, cynicism, humor, and sexuality.
