Thrust: A Novel | Lidia Yuknavitch
post image

This is a beautifully intimate weaved narratives of the past, present, and future of the US. It‘s a strange book, and if you don‘t like shifting timelines or perspectives or multiple characters who you unravel overlapping, it‘s not for you. It was descriptive and unusual and I definitely feel like I need to read again at some point in my life to fully comprehend and appreciate.

Multiple story threads weave together the past & the future in this bracing novel that‘s about nurturing bravery & strength of spirit in children, cherishing the contributions of working people in the USA, eliminating the shame of carnal pleasure, and offering a positive vision for the world ahead. #LGBTQ #bisexuality

SamAnne Love that image! 2y
Lindy @SamAnne Me too. Each section in this novel features a classic engraving or some other kind of art. 2y
SamAnne I did not like her last novel but I might have to check this one out. 2y
Lindy @SamAnne The only other Yuknavitch that I‘ve read was good, but not as wonderful as Thrust. 2y

I bring stories to life, so that we might recover our own bodies. I am wholly narrative, I am the hole of narrative, I am the holy narrative. These rooms are a storyletting.

She was the most beautiful anything I‘d ever seen, with the possible exception of a corn snake. Corn snakes, man, they have it bad. They often get mistaken for copperheads even though corn snakes are harmless to humans.

“When this penny first emerged,” she said, “people thought the image was a horror. They thought she was monstrous, that she looked insane. ‘Her unruly hair,‘ is what they said.”

The story of workers is buried under the weight of every monument to progress or power. Our labor never reaches the height of the sacred. No one ever tells the story of how beautiful we were. How the body of us moved. How we lifted entire epochs. May our story survive the rise of this city.

Bookshop.org always introduces me to interesting new books. I think I need Thrust for the cover alone.

Leftcoastzen That is a great cover! 3y
Karkar Well from the cover that not at ALL what I thought the book would be about. Now I feel like I need to read it to figure out the cover. Lol 3y

JamieArc @Karkar Right? Both books are about so much more than I would have anticipated from the cover! 3y
JamieArc @Leftcoastzen I‘m glad someone else thinks so 😁 3y
Megabooks Thrust sounds very interesting and Riverhead usually can do no wrong for me as a publisher. So curious about what you‘ll think! 3y
