1 2 y separately published work icon Yeh. Hell. Ow : A Novel Judyth Emanuel , New York (City) : Adelaide Books , 2019 16981204 2019 single work novel 'Unconventional language smashes the tedious march of sentences. Words, metaphors, phrases, descriptions, lists explode off the page in an irreverent transcendence. Brisk scenes contort, swell and recede. Searing threads of hatred, confusion, ignorance, pain, humor, abuse rupture the narrative which stresses one fact: there is no place for the sensitive and stupid in this world set in the 1970’s. Uniqueness, the abject feminine, bewilderment, self-hatred, banal traumas and the comedic speaks to women and has a strange appeal for men.' (Publication summary)

'Do you hate how life moulds you and them?

How you adore big-breasted women. Possessed like these retarded emotions, a pixie and a dimple.

Gave them both a tumble. Their scent sticks to your fingers.

You slam into

Your very own imagination. Electric dusk. Sewer overflowing. Streets of muck,

 The cleansing rain.

Ball, you say. Why the hell are you smiling?

There ain't no happy endings

You know how'
