A Complicated Woman (signed)

£22.00

In her debut, with trademark lyricism and razor-sharp wit, Mercury Prize-nominated musician and artist Rebecca Lucy Taylor (aka SELF ESTEEM) takes us on a journey through womanhood – whatever the hell that means. Through vignettes, lyrics and biting observational prose, ‘A Complicated Woman’ takes us from Genesis through the Fall through tentative attempts to cast ourselves as the Messiah in our own lives. It offers itself up as a subversive anti-Bible for any woman who has ever cracked under the weight of impossible expectation; who has done unto others the damage that has been wrought onto her; and who has discovered deep within herself a resilience that surprised her.

Description

‘A pin-up and an oracle for millennial women’
DOLLY ALDERTON

Sometimes when I drink wine out of a globulous glass with the thinnest of rims, blocking out the fact it’s billed at £14 a pop, I think of baby Becky.

Hair so blonde it’s neon white, cheeks so chubby you can’t see her eyes. What must she think right now? She must think she made it.


We’re a great big adult person.


That was always the plan, right?

In her extraordinary debut, with her trademark lyricism and razor-sharp wit, Ivor Novello Award-winning musician and artist Rebecca Lucy Taylor (aka SELF ESTEEM) takes us on a journey through womanhood – whatever the hell that means.

Through the notes, lyrics and biting observational prose for which Taylor has become renowned, A Complicated Woman offers itself up as a subversive anti-Bible for any woman who has ever cracked under the weight of impossible expectation; who has done unto others the damage that has been wrought upon her; and who has discovered deep within herself a resilience that surprised her.

A Complicated Woman is a cathartic scream of a book that gets to the heart of being a woman in the world today, and cements Taylor as one of the most exciting voices of her generation.
