It`s Summer, 1991, the dawning of the New World Order; a post-MTV, pre-AOL generation. Jerome Shafir & Sylvie Green, two former New Yorkers who can no longer afford an East Village apartment, set off on a journey across the entire former Soviet Bloc with the intention of adopting a Romanian orphan. Unflinchingly dark, hilarious & moving
- Torpor is at once a satire & philosophy of cultural history, social identity & failing relationships. Dipping into the trajectory of a life at different moments, Kraus interrogates convention & emotion, creating characters that are flawed, witty, & altogether true to life. Part prequel, part sequel, Torpor continues a project of life-writing; personal, unsparing, & triumphant. If I Love Dick is the book of your 20s, Torpor is the book of your 30s.
