Implosion by Lindsey Joanne Bauer
We are so excited to welcome Lindsey to the shop to launch her incredible book into the world. She will give a short introduction to her collection of real-life stories, take questions and sign copies.
‘Implosion’ is a toolkit for any modern-day nightmare scenario – it will help anyone to know that they’re not alone when they feel completely overwhelmed by life’s difficult setbacks. The result of a 2.5 year mammoth project, Implosion charts the real-life experiences of contemporary UK women aged between 21-76 years.
These experiences include being incarcerated, falling for a revered orchestra conductor, sexual desire at the age of 72 , work overwhelm, domestic violence, a disastrous affair with an older boss, a parent’s sudden death, receiving a shocking cancer diagnosis of only 3 months to live, being jilted just before a wedding, losing a baby halfway through pregnancy, hotel chain hook-ups, being cyber-stalked, best friends making passes at your husband, not fitting in, a mother’s suicide when her daughter is only 9, fleeing another country with one suitcase and your children, flirting on your kids’ football-practice sidelines, body dysmorphia, being completely abandoned by your long-time married lover, having your husband commit suicide (after meeting him as a burlesque dancer), being woken up at 3am by your PTSD-suffering spouse declaring he has a ‘God Complex’…
Entry is free.
