'Brilliant and completely unique' SOPHIE MACKINTOSH
'Michelle Steinbeck is the lovechild of Robert Wasler and a witch' CAMILLA GRUDOVA
'An absolute joyride of a novel. Surreal, highly dramatic and a feminist must-read' IRISH TIMES
'I'm sorry, your mother was murdered.'
Fila's mother Magdalena caused chaos every time she appeared in her daughter's life. Fila hasn't seen her in years, not since she disgraced their family by advertising her brothel in the newspaper.
Now, news comes from Italy: Magdalena is dead. It's time for Fila to finally face her family history.
Fila collects her mother's ashes and sets out, urn in tow, to retrace the whirlwind life of the woman last known as Favorita.
Part hallucinatory road trip, part feminist revenge fantasy: Favorita is a wild, furious and mischievous novel from an incendiary new European talent.
Michelle Steinbeck is a Swiss writer of novels, poetry and plays; columns and reportage. Her works have been translated into several languages. With her debut novel My Father Was a Man on Land and a Whale in the Water (English translation by Jen Calleja) she toured around the globe, with readings on three continents. The novel was selected as Best Book of Edinburgh Book Festival 2019 by the Reading Club of Shotts prison, and caused a mild scandal in the German literary scene. ('If that's the new generation - God save us.') Steinbeck is a columnist for WOZ Die Wochenzeitung, and co-founder of the feminist writers' collective RAUF in Zurich. She is also a student of philosophy and sociology in Basel.
