My Father Was a Man on Land and a Whale in the Water

By Michelle Steinbeck

A young woman goes on a perilous journey in search of her absent father. What ensues is a Freudian adult fairytale in this exciting debut by young Swiss author Michelle Steinbeck. A child attacks Loribeth with an iron while she is sleeping. In retaliation Loribeth throws the iron onto the child from an upstairs window, packs the damaged body into a suitcase and sets off on her travels. Thus starts Steinbeck's unusual, poetic novella about a young woman's transition from childhood to adulthood. In this fantastical novella, Steinbeck depicts her protagonist's unsettled state of mind in poetic and energetic prose.
