In the stark, poetic voice that garnered her novel Anatomy. Monotony. cult status in Norway and abroad, writer and performance artist Edy Poppy offers a vision of sexuality and alienation unlike any other. The sharp, sensual stories of Coming. Apart. chart the unraveling of relationships in all their complexity. From rural Norway to Berlin, Edy Poppy follows characters caught between intimacy and escape—lovers who drift, clash, fracture. A couple’s erotic games slip into something darker. A woman retreats to the countryside, shadowed by memory. Another navigates obsession, ambivalence, and solitude with uneasy clarity. Written in a voice that is both visceral and exacting, Edy Poppy's first story collection moves along the fault lines of connection and desire. Blurring fiction and lived experience, Poppy offers a fierce meditation on what it means to stay—or leave.
Edy Poppy (b. 1975), grew up on a farm in Bø, Telemark, Norway. She moved to Montpellier when she was 17, and spent several years in France before moving to London where she worked with art, fashion, film and writing. She is the author of the novel Anatomy. Monotony., which has been translated into Italian, Finnish, German, Polish and English, as well as the short story collection Coming. Apart. and most recently the novel Iggy. Poppy has lived in Berlin, Buenos Aires, Lipari, Reykjavik, and Rio, and now calls Oslo home. May-Brit Akerholt’s published translations of Norwegian works include plays, novels, and poetry collections by writers such as Henrik Ibsen, Jon Fosse, and Ruth Lillegraven. She lives in Australia, where she is a recipient of a fellowship from the Theatre Board of Australia Council.
