Large Print
A brilliant, playful new novel about identity and personality, from master storyteller Helen Oyeyemi. What if you had to share your body and life with six different versions of yourself? Kinga-Alojzia lives alone in Prague, but she's never lonely. A different personality takes up residence in her mind each day of the week. Every evening, that day's personality leaves written notes for the next day's self about what transpired. This all works quite well until the day that Kinga, who is Polish, becomes a Czech citizen. She wants to be a model member of her adopted country, but one of her selves seems to be plotting a takeover, scheming to rule them all. A captivating exploration of identity and multiplicity, A NEW NEW ME combines Helen Oyeyemi's crackling, exuberant prose with deep existential questions: What happens when your identities are at war with each other? How many versions of oneself can one self contain?
