Centered on six women sharing a space in a derelict apartment tower and set in what maybe the future, Ruins, Child is remarkable for its sweep, wit, and the sway of its liquid mosaic narrative, powered along by snatches of speech. "The woman is old, I hear children saying nearby, not in the way we consider all adults to be old, but really old, ancient, she is endless." Using the lenses of urban infrastructure, botany, folklore, choreography, and collective listening, Ruins, Child creates a new ethnography of place and an ode both to communal ruins and to resistance. In the vivacity of their telling, Scodellaro's heroines obscure authority, setting afoot a radical freeing-up. "Looseness, that is the thing people fear in a person (in women) and in objects."
GIADA SCODELLARO is the author of the collection Some of Them Will Carry Me (Dorothy, a publishing project), named one of the The New Yorker's best books of 2022. Her writings have appeared in or are forthcoming from The New Yorker, BOMB, Harper's, Granta, and Brick, among others. She is an Assistant Professor at Columbia University. Winner of The Novel Prize, her debut novel, Ruins, Child, is out now from New Directions (US), Fitzcarraldo Editions (UK), and Giramondo (AU)
