The Bitter Life of Bozena Nemcova: A Biographical Collage
The Bitter Life of Bozena Nemcova: A Biographical Collage
Kelcey Parker Ervick's THE BITTER LIFE OF BOZENA NĚMCOVÁ is a singular compendium--a handbook, a digest, an offering, a constellation in orbit around the strange bright star of nineteenth-century Czech writer Němcová. Via a series of carefully curated letters, excerpts, images, and documents, Němcová is brought to life in curious gasps. But the book is also a vivid and gripping portrait of another artist, Kelcey Parker Ervick, who, in searching for the other finds something of herself.--Danielle Dutton, author of Margaret the First
THE BITTER LIFE OF BOZENA NĚMCOVÁ by Kelcey Parker Ervick is one of the least bitter, most loving books I have read in a long time, and it's beautifully made. Fans of Jenny Boully's NOT MERELY BECAUSE OF THE UNKNOWN THAT WAS STALKING TOWARD THEM and Maggie Nelson's The Argonauts--frankly, anyone interested in fairy tales and in memory and in desire--should read this haunting biographical collage. It's a terrific work of lyric nonfiction, a form underrepresented on the fairy tale shelves.--Kate Bernheimer, author of How a Mother Weaned Her Girl from Fairy Tales
There is, in books of this hybridized magnitude and hermeneutics, much brouhaha about defining 'fiction' and 'fact.' But Kelcey Parker Ervick
