A MAGICAL MAN

Autor Maria Maunsbach
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 23 sep 2027
Sometimes when Mikael eats the food she cooks for him - beef, potato and onion stew, larb, oven-baked chicken or just fried pork scratchings - his arms bead with sweat. She loves it, in the same way she loves his deep scent when he comes home after a day's work. He's a removal man; but once upon a time he was on the way to becoming a fighter.

Is it his past that makes him so magical? All those years at the gym in Thailand or the hundreds upon hundreds of girls he was with before her? Or the fact his thighs are so vast that they chafe as he walks? The fact that his life in general has centred so much on the physical? She's not sure, but she knows that Mikael has changed her, fundamentally. She also knows that she loves him like she's never loved anybody else.

A Magical Man is an intensely carnal love story, but most of all it is a tender portrait of a man and how he came to be who he is.

Recenzii

'I have not read such an intellectually delving, linguistically soaring book about love since Jane Eyre.'
'Maunsbach writes briskly, humorously, and tenderly about a boy's coming of age, but above all, she writes effortlessly and sensually about sex and food. It is carnal, lustful, hot prose. ... It is liberating to read a story portrayed with such a sensually astute female perspective on the opposite sex.'
'A knockout.'
'I can't remember the last time a piece of prose activated both my olfactory and my salivary glands, continuously. Possibly never. There's a saying in English: the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. This might be Jenny's creed in loving Mikael.'
'A body of work marked by absolute musicality, Scanian excesses and burlesque warmth. In solidarity with women who won't settle for anything less than love, friendship, and working-class thighs as thick as logs.'
'For all it's boldness, the sex, the MMA, the masculinity, and the bodily fluids, the best word to describe A Magical Man is tenderness. This is a book about understanding and empathy, about coming someone close, and wanting more than anything to be near. It has the rawness and humour of Miranda July, and is as humane and compassionate as the work of Ann Patchett, both authors I love and publish in Sweden.'
