The Faculty Of Dreams – Sara Stridsberg

Description

In April 1988, Valerie Solanas died alone and penniless. She was only 52. Stridsberg goes to the hotel room where Solanas’ body was found, the courtroom where she was convicted of attempting to murder Andy Warhol, the Georgia wastelands of her atrociously abusive childhood, and the mental hospitals that interned her. Through imagined conversations and monologues, Stridsberg reconstructs this enigmatic woman, giving a powerful, heartbreaking voice to the gifted writer of the infamous SCUM Manifesto.
