A chair that greets you, or shiny tiles of floor that follow a peculiar grammar of their own. Our narrator is obsessed with the way items rise up out of their thingness, assuming personalities and private motives. She also cannot sleep, and practices her daily routines with the urgency of survival ? peeling a carrot, drinking prune juice ? all an acutely calibrated exploration into having a home. Structured as a series of intimate vignettes like those of Olga Ravn, What Kingdom thrums with the swirling voices of this shared home. Hector blares Michael Jackson from the recreation room and recalls a past in Peru when his psychoses were treated with exorcism. The town would shake the devil out of his small, teenage body before he was relocated to Denmark. Or Marie, who has lived in the temporary unit since she was eighteen, has no idea that her mother lives just four floors below in a permanent care unit. Echoing the aching writings of Janet Frame on electroconvulsive therapy, or Linda Bostr?m Knausg?rd?s mythical meditations on silence and mental health, Fine Gr?bøl renders a delicate and deep uncoupling from the world."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Mental health facilities $x Patients $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Mentally ill $x Ethics $x Ethics $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Medical personnel and patient $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Psychiatric hospital care $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Psychiatric hospitals $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Copenhagen (Denmark) $v Fiction. 700 1 $a Aitken, Martin, $e translator. 700 1 $a Ebbesen, Karoline, $e illustrator. 941 $a 2 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20240503010625.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20240502012119.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D99AFC90084B11EFBCAD05DA2DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
