Book description
Jennifer M. Wilson has decided to become a voice. A professional
enunciator, an announcer, a voice-over artist, she has retreated into a
world of words. Behind the sound-proof double doors of the recording
studio she must surely be safe from the painful inconveniences of hate
and love. Until reality breaks in and Jennifer uncovers the harsh
vocabulary of addiction and the addictive extremes of sex. -An
alchemical romance, a Swiftian satire for our times, an impossible
spiritual journey and a devastating plummet into insanity and
perversion, So I Am Glad is oblique, incisive, hilarious and horrific.
A. L. Kennedy has published four previous collections of stories and
three novels. She has received many prizes for her work, including the
Somerset Maugham Award, the Encore Award and the Saltire Scottish Book
of the Year Award.
