‘A topical narrative with delightfully experimental stylization... In/Half has established Frelih as one of Slovenia's rising literary stars.’
Description
An extraordinary debut from one of Slovenia's rising stars
It's 2036, twenty-five years after the 'Great Shutdown' destroyed the global communications network. In this post-Internet world, three childhood friends come together to celebrate their fiftieth birthdays. But with Zoja, a radical poet; Evan, an addict theatre director; and Kras, a former minister for war in attendance, this was never going to be a subdued occasion...
This hilariously anarchic debut plunges the reader into a world that is at once unthinkable and disturbingly familiar. Alarming, exhilarating and keenly focused on the contradictions of modernity, this is an astounding novel from a powerful new voice.
Reviews
‘The blend of technologies old and new results in a uniquely speculative and philosophical novel.'
'Sustains its ghostly, ethereal tone and will be appreciated by readers looking for a mind-bending puzzle.'
‘A novel that repays careful reading for some brilliant set-pieces, for its believably flawed characters, and for its bone-dry, even cynical, wit.’
