Swallowing Geography

Summary

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Swallowing Geography by Deborah Levy, read by Gabrielle Glaister.

Like her namesake Jack Kerouac, J.K. is always on the road, travelling Europe with her typewriter in a pillowcase. From J.K.'s irreverent, ironic perspective, Levy charts a new, dizzying, end-of-the-century world of shifting boundaries and displaced peoples.

'A stunningly original writer' Kirsty Gunn

'One of the few British writers comfortable on a world stage' New Statesman

'Levy's strength is her originality of thought and expression' Jeanette Winterson
