    • In this latest novel from the award-winning author of The Polyglot Lovers, a writer searching for inspiration in Spain goes on a darkly comic, delightfully absurd journey through an underground society. Awarded a three-month stipend to travel and work, a Swedish writer flies to Madrid, where in a bar she meets a man with an extraordinary story to tell. In exchange for somewhere to sleep and to hide out for a few days, he is willing to tell her the whole astonishing tale. What follows is an account of fantastic proportions and ingredients: the existence of a shadowy Internet TV show with a certain morality clause, a threat to the storyteller’s life, a diabolical nun, and the story of a girl with a missing left thumb. The tale is also the precursor to a meeting between the writer and the infernal miracle worker, Lucia—a meeting that ultimately forces the writer to make a fateful decision about her own inner essence. Carnality is a novel about the universal need for spirituality and truth—not to mention a good story—set in the seemingly unspiritual grimy underbelly of society.

      Ellinor je trideset šest godina. Omiljena joj je odjeća crna trenirka i debela podstavljena jakna, a dobar je dio svojih mladenačkih godina provela boreći se s muškarcima u skrivenim podrumima po uzoru na likove iz Kluba boraca. Pametna i lišena sentimentalnih osjećaja, svoju će sreću okušati online, na stranici za samce, gdje će upoznati neobičnog književnog kritičara. Max Lamas cijenjeni je pisac koji sanja o ljubavnici poliglotkinji, ženi koja će ga uistinu razumjeti – na svim zamislivim jezicima. Njegova će ga potraga, ali i osobni demoni odvesti u Italiju, gdje će upoznati ostarjelu markizu čija je stoljećima stara plemenitaška obitelj na rubu financijske propasti. Njihovu će priču ispričati unuka ove plemenitašice. A ono što povezuje tri živopisna lika ove književne intrige je rukopis koji će nepopravljivo utjecati na njihove živote.
