“Deft, defiant . . . accurate.”—The New York Times Book Review
“Karp . . . get[s] it all on paper for a whole generation.”—Kate Millett
A landmark stream-of-consciousness novel for the women’s movement in 1969. Shuttling between past and present during fourteen hours of labor, the thirty-two-year-old unmarried protagonist revisits family and mother-daughter conflicts, problematic relationships with men, and identity questions. Lila Karp hijacks the experience of giving birth to present searing meditations on a feminist politics of the body.

She taught literature, film, and feminist theory in women's studies programs at many U.S. universities.

Descripción Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. "Deft, defiant . . . accurate. New York Times Book ReviewShifting seamlessly between past and present, consciousness and dreams, Lila Karp explores the conflicted psyche of thirty-two-year-old Harriet Battenberg as she inventories her life during a fourteen-hour labor. Wrenching flashbacks recall embittering conflicts with her mother, unfulfilling relationships with men, a miscarriage, and an abortion. Harriets struggle above all is to understand how her perception of womanhood has brought her to this moment of personal crisis.Lila Karp halts time in the midst of exploring the psychological and sexual entanglements of a womans experience. Her wit and distinct literary style make hers a unique voice among writers from the 1960s U.S. feminist movement, a voice that still resounds today for everyone fighting to find themselves and write their own histories and futures. The Queen is in the Garbage is a shocking and absorbing story that uses a feminist perspective to deconstruct fundamental questions of womanhood, autonomy, and the very essence of human existence. Unmarried and entering premature labour during a holiday in her native New York, Harriet Battenberg meditates on questions of motherhood, marriage and identity. Scenes of her past reveal how her history, marked by an embittered relationship with her mother; a series of unfulfilling relationships with men, has brought Harriet to this moment.
