About this product
Product Information
A brilliant literary debut about belonging, family, and love, and the enigmatic nature of identity. Beside Myself is the disturbing and exhilarating story of a family across four generations. At its heart is a twin's search for her brother. When Anton goes missing and the only clue is a postcard sent from Istanbul, Ali leaves her life in Berlin to find him. Without her twin, the sharer of her memories and the mirror of her own self, Ali is lost. In a city steeped in political and social upheaval, where you can buy gender-changing drugs on the street, Ali's search--for her missing brother, for her identity--will take her on a journey for connection and belonging.

Beside Myself reads like a classic and is yet refreshingly modern...[It] beautifully interweaves four generations of characters of different ages, times, places, languages and genders." -- ArtsHub "Beautifully written despite the darkness of its story and texture. There are hundreds of glimpses of worlds inside worlds... Beside Myself is both a cool thriller and a meditation on family." -- Saturday Paper "Salzmann thoughtfully and cleverly addresses the themes of memory, identity, and migration, asking if language, nationality, or gender are important for our self-definition...[an] at times quirky, at times graphic tale of lost and found." -- World Literature Today, "A compelling journey of discovery and change." -- Booklist "Salzmann thoughtfully and cleverly addresses the themes of memory, identity, and migration, asking if language, nationality, or gender are important for our self-definition...[an] at times quirky, at times graphic tale of lost and found." -- World Literature Today "Fiction at its highest purpose...
