Présentation de l'éditeur :
A New York Review Books Original
Winner of the 2009 Bernard Shaw Prize for Translation
Two women, both artists, no longer young, live and work on opposite sides of a large apartment building, their studios connected by an attic passageway. They have loved and argued for decades, long enough to anticipate the other's next words and to guess her next move. Yet no matter how many times they've played the game, it is always capable of surprising them.
Tove Jansson tells the women's story in a series of brief, spare episodes, which bear the fitness of parable and the nuance of portraiture. We see the two as they watch Fassbinder films and B Westerns, critique each other's works in progress, spend time on a solitary island (recognizable to readers of Jansson's The Summer Book), and travel through the American Southwest. The type of love story that is rarely told, Fair Play is a revelatory depiction of contentment, hard-won and exhilarating.

Tove Jansson (1914-2001) was born in Helsinki into Finland's Swedish-speaking minority. She created and illustrated the adventures of Moomintroll, the Moomin family, and their curious friends in a long-running comic strip and in a series of books for children that have been translated throughout the world. Jansson also wrote novels and short stories for adults, of which The Summer Book and The True Deceiver are available as NYRB Classics.
Ali Smith is the author of seven works of fiction, including the novel Hotel World, which was short-listed for the Man Booker Prize in 2001, and The Accidental, which won the Whitbread Award in 2005 and was short-listed for the 2005 Booker Prize.
Thomas Teal has translated Tove Jansson's Sun City, The Summer Book, and The True Deceiver.

Description du livre Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. 'so what can happen when Tove Jansson turns her attention to her own favourite subjects, love and work, in the form of this novel about two women, lifelong partners and friends? Expect something philosophically calm - and discreetly radical. At first sight it looks autobiographical. Like everything Jansson wrote, it's much more than it seems . . . Fair Play is very fine art . ' (Ali Smith from the introduction to Fair Play) A charming, quietly radical and inspiring book. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780954899530
