Product Information
*Longlisted for the Swansea University Dylan Thomas Prize A hint of Lynch, a touch of Ferrante, the cruel absurdity of Antonin Artaud, the fierce candour of Ana s Nin, the stylish languor of a Lana del Rey song. -- The Guardian As Communism begins to crumble in Prague in the 1980s, Jana's unremarkable life becomes all at once remarkable when a precocious young girl named Zorka moves into the apartment building with her mother and sick father. With Zorka's signature two-finger salute and abrasive wit, she brings flair to the girls' days despite her mother's protestations to not "be weird." But after scorching her mother's prized fur coat and stealing from a nefarious teacher, Zorka suddenly disappears. Meanwhile in Paris, Aim e de Saint-P married young to an older woman, Dominique, an actress whose star has crested and is in decline. A quixotic journey of self-discovery, Virtuoso follows Zorka as she comes of age in Prague, Wisconsin, and then Boston, amidst a backdrop of clothing logos, MTV, computer coders, and other outcast youth. But it isn't till a Parisian conference hall brimming with orthopedic mattresses and therapeutic appendages when Jana first encounters Aim e, their fates steering them both to a cryptic bar on the Rue de Prague, and, perhaps, to Zorka. With a distinctive prose flair and spellbinding vision, Virtuoso is a story of love, loss, and self-discovery that heralds Yelena Moskovich as a brilliant and one-of-a-kind visionary.

Reviews
"A hint of Lynch, a touch of Ferrante, the cruel absurdity of Antonin Artaud, the fierce candour of Anaïs Nin, the stylish languor of a Lana del Rey song... Moskovich writes sentences that lilt and slink, her plots developing as a slow seduction and then clouding like a smoke-filled room.." -- The Guardian "A bold feminist novel: it contains a world of love and friendship between women in which men and boys are both indistinct and irrelevant... The Natashas was a fascinating debut, Virtuoso is even better... It is the Blue Velvet to her Eraserhead : a fully realized vision of a strange world." --Katharine Coldiron, Times Literary Supplement " Virtuoso is powerfully mysterious and deeply insightful, a page-turner precisely because you have no idea what to expect. In the era of #MeToo, Moskovich's arrestingly close and complicated view of lesbian relationships and female friendship seems more urgent than ever before. But it's perhaps the novel's defiantly surrealist style that is its greatest triumph; it is in itself a stirring endorsement of transgression on all fronts. Virtuoso has the effect of a good poem -- inexplicit, mystifying, and sometimes impenetrable, but in the end producing a vivid and visceral impression of the subject. The true virtuoso, in both substance and style, is the author herself." --Nadia Beard, Los Angeles Review of Books, "Moskovich's novel has more in common with David Lynch's Mulholland Drive than it does with any contemporary piece of writing... Moskovich breaks almost every rule of contemporary fiction." --Kirkus "Although Moskovich displays plenty of pyrotechnics--of structure, figure and storytelling--the title of her novel isn't self-referential. She's copped it from a (real) Czech-manufactured medical mattress for "high-risk patients." As the company says, "when care is critical, each fibre counts." And indeed, the author's intricately woven the strands of two, or four, or perhaps six women's lives into a text that holds them in an uncanny space for "accelerated wound healing." Through rapturous and sometimes raucous somniloquies, in hotel suites, lesbian bars, and chat rooms, her scrappy, hungry, globe-scattered heroines are trying desperately to keep each other from coming to pieces. Part Ferrante, part Despentes, Yelena Moskovich is a brutal but tender-hearted chronicler of women in love." --Barbara Browning, author of The Gift , I'm Trying to Reach You , The Correspondence Artist "Like Moskovich's powerful debut The Natashas , this is a book about the last generation to be born in the Soviet era and how the fall of communism shaped their social, sexual and artistic engagement with the world... Moskovich's mother tongue is Ukrainian, and while her English is faultless, there's a pleasing otherness about her syntax and word choice, a sense that there are different languages operating just beneath the surface of the text. It makes for a reading experience that is always strikingly original... Virtuoso is a fine, fraught, strange novel... it will be fascinating to see what she writes next." --Alex Preston, The Guardian " Virtuoso is powerfully mysterious and deeply insightful, a page-turner precisely because you have no idea what to expect.

Moskovich breaks almost every rule of contemporary fiction." --Kirkus "[Virtuoso] tells the stories of four queer European women in a filmic, fragmented style... An unexpected reunion ties together all the stories in an emotionally complex and gratifying ending." --Publishers Weekly "Virtuoso is novel in the most original sense, a slice of story carved out of the world and set in eerie, entrancing motion, a boundary-crossing narrative that encircles both geopolitical history and the delicate, gestural inner life of her two female characters, who form themselves in the midst of their homeland''s upheaval. In Moskovich''s inspired hands, language becomes a fragile and shifting musculature, a substance both firm and ephemeral, simultaneously the stuff of our lives and the stuff of dreams." --Alexandra Kleeman, author of You Too Can Have a Body Like Mine "Although Moskovich displays plenty of pyrotechnics--of structure, figure and storytelling--the title of her novel isn''t self-referential. She''s copped it from a (real) Czech-manufactured medical mattress for "high-risk patients." As the company says, "when care is critical, each fibre counts."
