EDITORS' CHOICE AT THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEWLONGLISTED FOR THE 2021 CARNEGIE MEDAL and the Joyce Carol Oates Prize'Miraculous: spry and mordant, with sentences that lull you with their rhythms, then twist suddenly and sting.' Lauren Groff, author of Florida'A twisting, strange delight, Parakeet shimmers a soft and generous light on the darkest of a woman's innermost thoughts.' Kristen Iversen, Refinery29Acclaimed author of 2 A.M. at the Cat's Pajamas MarieHelene Bertino's Parakeet is a darkly funny and warmhearted novel about a young woman whose dead grandmother (in the form of a parakeet) warns her not to marry and sends her out to find an estranged loved one.The week of her wedding, The Bride is visited by a bird she recognizes as her dead grandmother because of the cornflower blue line beneath her eyes, her dubious expression, and the way she asks: What is the Internet?Her grandmother is a parakeet. She says not to get married. She says: Go and find your brother.In the days that follow, The Bride's march to the altar becomes a wild and increasingly fragmented, unstable journey that bends toward the surreal and forces her to confront matters long buried.A novel that does justice to the hectic confusion of becoming a woman today, Parakeet asks and begins to answer the essential questions. How do our memories make, cage, and free us? How do we honor our experiences and still become our strongest, truest selves? Who are we responsible for, what do we owe them, and how do we allow them to change?Urgent, strange, warmhearted, and sly, Parakeet is ribboned with joy, fear, and an inextricable thread of real love. It is a startling, unforgettable, lifeembracing exploration of self and connection.A Best Book of 2020 at Lit Hub, Electric Literature, andRefinery29A Best Book of Summer at Vulture, Refinery29, Yahoo! Life, Alma, Subway Book Review, and Lit HubA Best Book of the Month at Entertainment Weekly, Hello Giggles, and PopSugar
