Satellite
Autor Isle McElroyen Limba Engleză Hardback – 3 noi 2027
Johanna is feeling adrift in her own life. Two years ago, she and her husband Paul were on the brink of divorce. But when Paul was paralyzed in a workplace accident, she decided to stay and care for him. Her life is lonely. She spends her days preparing meals, dressing her husband for work, and watching TV alone.
But one evening as she's channel surfing, Johanna discovers something unusual. There seems to be a channel she's never seen before, playing a round-the-clock feed of a woman who looks, acts and talks like her. This woman is living a very different kind of life in New York: the life she might have led if she'd walked out on Paul when their marriage first hit the rocks.
And as Johanna's obsession deepens, it emerges that this doppelganger has an agenda of her own. When she bursts into Johanna's quiet and carefully ordered life, the ensuing chaos forces both women to confront the lives they are leading - and the choices they have yet to make.
Laugh-out-loud funny, perceptive and utterly original, Satellite is an irresistible novel about love, commitment, identity, sacrifice and freedom.

Recenzii
A thrilling and subversive tale of the psychological powers embedded in domestic activities and ordinary relationships, and explores the question of what makes a more important alternative to the present - the unlived past or the not yet fulfilled future. Isle McElroy writes with the sharpness of a searchlight into the hidden corners of human hearts
Satellite wrecked me. How beautiful to open a book and be confronted by a series of interlocking questions; the "what ifs" of personal choice held inside ever weirder and more wonderful nesting dolls. It's an unpacking that shows both sides of the same deeply human coin: vulnerability, strength. The ache here is palpable, felt in the teeth. Sexy, yearning, and slick. A gorgeous new novel from one of my very favorite authors. God, aren't we lucky!
Satellite is a twisted and hilarious doppelganger thriller that left me ruminating on its philosophical premise for weeks. What began as a strange and sexy page-turner kept surprising me with its tenderness and emotional intelligence - a tremendously satisfying read
Praise for Isle McElroy: A profound and moving meditation on love and commitment swapped into the body of a gripping literary thriller - I predict Isle McElroy's work will inaugurate an entire genre
McElroy is sharp on the collaborative failures endemic to love, and the kind of oneness that creates separation
Expertly interrogates gender roles and questions the ties that bind lovers together
Deftly explores partnership, identity, and sex
Spectacular. McElroy has given us a work of art that's original, stylish, and frequently masterly in the ways it explores the porous and mutable nature of bodies, selves, partnerships, and what we call love. Bravo
Rarefied, unstable, charged. A sophisticated farce about alienation, it takes our absurd age seriously - which is to say it laughs, darkly, in its face
A marvel, a wonder, a gift. McElroy's characters glide across the page, in and out of love, and we see ourselves in their conflicts, their crucibles, and what they hold dear. Simply put, McElroy dazzles
Darkly funny and glitteringly satirical
