Synopsis

Arthur Schopenhauer. Frida Kahlo. Helen of Troy.Bazz is the proud designer of the unique, noble, and memorable faces given to these icons.Art. Craft. Life itself. That is what face design is, for Bazz.He does whatever it takes to design faces that make a human’s life worth living: spending long shifts at his workstation at the Face Design Department, dealing with his uninspiring boss, and limiting his existential rumination to the briefest of moments so that he doesn’t think too much about the Nothing or Everything that lies beyond the Earth Life Production Center. By moons, suns, and stars, if he didn’t dedicate himself to his vision, he wouldn’t even know what to do with himself!His existence goes on splendidly, until, all of a sudden, a formless yet formidable enemy appears:More and more humans are populating Earth. Each of them needs a face to be born with. And nowadays, this annoying thing called the internet happens to come equipped with technology that makes the re-use of a classic face definitely tricky and potentially dangerous…* A novel about the awakening of a man, in the process of the unfolding of life and death that crosses multiple worlds and connects countless reflections of the various selves.

    Jamaica Kincaid's The Autobiography of My Mother is a story of love, fear, loss, and the forging of character, an account of one woman's inexorable evolution, evoked in startling and magical poetry. 
     
     
     
    Powerful, disturbing, stirring, Jamaica Kincaid's novel is the deeply charged story of a woman's life on the island of Dominica. Xuela Claudette Richardson, the daughter of a Carib mother and a half-Scottish, half-African father, loses her mother to death the moment she is born and must find her way on her own. 
     
     
     
    Kincaid takes us from Xuela's childhood in a home where she can hear the song of the sea to the tin-roofed room where she lives as a schoolgirl in the house of Jack LaBatte, who becomes her first lover. Xuela develops a passion for the stevedore Roland, who steals bolts of Irish linen for her from the ships he unloads, but she eventually marries an English doctor, Philip Bailey. Xuela's is an intensely physical world, redolent of overripe fruit, gentian violet, sulfur, and rain on the road, and it seethes with her sorrow, her deep sympathy for those who share her history, her fear of her father, her desperate loneliness. But underlying all is "the black room of the world" that is Xuela's barrenness and motherlessness.
