Though they are built around the common themes of sex, love, desire, and gender, Aidt pushes them into her own desperate, frantic realm. In one, a whore shows up unannounced at a man's apartment, roosts in his living room, and then violently threatens him when he tries to make her leave. In another, a wife takes her husband to a city where it is women, not men, who are the dominant sex--but was it all a hallucination when she finds herself tied to a board and dragged back to his car? And in the unforgettable \"Blackcurrant,\" two young women who have turned away from men and toward lesbianism abscond to a farm, where they discover that their neighbor's son is experimenting with his own kind of sexuality. The first book from the widely lauded Aidt to reach the English language, \u003ci\u003eBaboon\u003c\/i\u003e delivers audacious writing that careens toward bizarre, yet utterly truthful, realizations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginally from Greenland, \u003cb\u003eNaja Marie Aidt\u003c\/b\u003e is a Danish poet and author with nearly 20 works in various genres to her name.
