So I Am Glad

Jennifer M. Wilson has decided to become a voice. A professional enunciator, an announcer, a voice-over artist, she has retreated into a world of words. Behind the sound-proof double doors of the recording studio she must surely be safe from the painful inconveniences of hate and love. Until reality breaks in and Jennifer uncovers the harsh vocabulary of addiction and the addictive extremes of sex. -An alchemical romance, a Swiftian satire for our times, an impossible spiritual journey and a devastating plummet into insanity and perversion, So I Am Glad is oblique, incisive, hilarious and horrific.

Reviews

A. L. Kennedy is one of the most brilliant writers of her generation

—— Sunday Telegraph

This woman is a profound writer

—— Richard Ford

Kennedy is an exceptional writer... So I Am Glad is her best book

—— Observer

The clarity, wit and description of her style are uplifting... A writer in her thirties, who is becoming one of Britain's best

—— The Times

Outstanding... A virtuoso performance brilliantly balancing insight and agony

—— Irish Times

An antipodean King Lear writ gentle and tragicomic, almost Chekhovian . . . an intensely dramatic masterpiece.

—— The Australian
