Written immediately before her acclaimed \u003ci\u003eNotebook\u003c\/i\u003e trilogy, the works here oscillate between parables, surrealist anecdotes, and stories animated by a realism stripped to the bone. By turns harrowing and whimsical, cruel and sharply funny, Kristof's world shifts our gaze to a shared reality, past and present. Here exile and existential alienation are undeniable - as is the force of every sentence, making for extraordinary and essential reading.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTranslated from French by Chris Andrews\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaperback \/ softback | 96 pages | Published August 2025\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GARDNERS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63997110518109,"sku":"9780241774052","price":13.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0978\/3459\/8749\/files\/9780241774052.jpg?v=1774584357","url":"https:\/\/www.thebookmark.ie\/products\/i-dont-care","provider":"The Bookmark ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
