Über diesen Titel
With an introduction by Violet Kupersmith
Understand my beginning with Oliver. You will see that my love for him is not a romantic fantasy. Every bit of this love was formed from the reality of primary needs—ingestion, excretion, simple pleasure and pain.
Our narrator’s name and origins are unknown, but she claims to be from “another star.” Though she arrived as a fully grown woman, she did not yet have the ability to speak or look after herself. She lives with Oliver, who serves as both her caregiver and her captor and keeps the two of them in isolation from the rest of the world. Though she has no freedom, she insists that he did his best to protect her, to develop her into something more than she was.
Now she blends into our society, though she is still different at heart. The problem is, she can’t find Oliver. She goes back to their beginning to examine her relationship with him, a strange mix of father, lover, abuser, teacher.
And then there is the question of Edith, a mysterious woman whose absence seems to haunt them both.
Originally published in 1977 and seemingly woven from the fragments of nightmares and fantasies, Find Him! is a paragon of Elaine Kraf’s iconoclastic style, challenging and captivating in equal measure.
The Modern Library Torchbearers Series features women who wrote on their own terms, with boldness, creativity, and a spirit of resistance.
Kritikerstimmen
“Kraf is particularly attuned to the ways men exercise social control over women, and how a self can fragment and fracture under such conditions. Find Him! is an exploration of how language constitutes and complicates the effort to bring these fragments together. . . . Kraf’s novels have a chimerical, hall-of-mirrors feeling, as if each book were a draft of the next. Kraf is aware of the power and peril of language games; she writes as if looking for a way out of its trap.”—The Baffler
