Liminal | Jordan Tannahill
2 posts | 2 to read
At 11:04 a.m. on January 21st, 2017, Jordan opens the door to his mothers bedroom. As his eyes adjust to the half-light, he finds her lying in bed, eyes closed and mouth agape. In that instant he cannot tell whether she is asleep or dead. The sight of his mother's body, caught between these two possibilities, causes Jordan to plunge headlong into the uncertain depths of consciousness itself. From androids to cannibals to sex clubs, an unforgettable personal odyssey emerges, populated by a cast of sublime outsiders in search for the ever-elusive nature of self. Part ontological thriller, part millennial saga, Liminal is a riotous and moving portrait of a young man in volatile times, a generation caught in suspended animation, and a sons enduring love for his mother.

Today at #VWF2018, Jordan Tannahill said, “We‘ve lived 2000 years with the Augustinian terror of having a body. The shame of pleasure is rooted in this terror.”
Sarah Winman added that we need education for young women about pleasure in regards to sex. To know that if sex is not pleasurable, they should stop or change what is happening.
(Incidentally, author Randy Boyagoda brought up St Augustine in conversation yesterday.)

MayJasper It's curious how a person, event or place can keep cropping up. My current cropper upper is Cardinal Wolsey. 6y
Lindy @MayJasper It‘s weird, isn‘t it. Cardinal Wolsey... my first thought goes to Hilary Mantel. But no doubt Wolsey pops up in unexpected places. 6y
MayJasper Yes Hilary Mantel and he spent the last summer of his life at Southwell Minster (about 8 miles from my house and somewhere we visit regularly, infact we were there yesterday for the Bramley Apple Festival) and I saw a book about him in a search on eBay for used Folio books. 6y
Lindy @MayJasper An apple festival sounds lovely. Coincidentally, I‘m munching apple slices as I scroll through Litsy. 😊🍎 6y

At #VWF2018 today, Jordan Tannahill talked about his new novel, which centres on the relationship between a single mother and her gay son. The entire novel takes place in a single instant of confusion. My interest has been piqued!
