"I have a consumption problem. I buy to forget, and then I forget that I have bought something. When I don't see things, I forget they exist. My blender, my bike helmet, my ex-boyfriend when he went to Denmark for a week. Suddenly, I cannot remember them anymore and think, 'Maybe I could use a new one!' As a result, I have multiple blenders, bike helmets, and ex-boyfriends."
Giulia Becker, known for her mastery of the grotesque and the absurd, offers readers a quirky new book brimming with everyday observations. She weaves a world filled with seemingly mundane events – like a stay at a wellness hotel, a switch from a bike to a unicycle, and signing up for a gym – that take unexpected twists and turns. In doing so, she unveils the absurdities of daily challenges, highlighting the hilarity in their sum. Becker's unique perspective transforms the mundane into the wildly funny, making her second book a delightful journey through life's oddities.
