Paradise Rot

In her lyrical debut novel, musician and artist Jenny Hval explores a surreal and provocative landscape of sensuality and identity as Jo navigates life in a peculiar new country. Set within a house with no walls and shared with an boundary-less woman, the story delves into the heightened senses and blurred boundaries between dreams, bodies, and nature. The novel offers a hyper-sensual portrayal of sexual awakening and queer desire, blending vivid imagery with a richly imaginative narrative.
