In the sixth Decadent Editions title from Fireflies Press, Eora / Sydney-based writer Anwen Crawford delves into Lynne Ramsay’s haunting second feature Morvern Callar, adapted from Alan Warner’s novel, to craft a fiercely lucid and poetic exploration of grief, class, women’s authorship and the place of art in our world today.
”There is a film called Morvern Callar and a novel called Morvern Callar – now a critical study called Morvern Callar joins them as an equal. Anwen Crawford’s writing is tactile, agile and alert; she pushes always for the startling thought, the tartly troubling image. Great critics make compelling work even more compelling, and this is what Crawford achieves here, as she always does.”
