## Description

Written during her time as the inaugural fellow in the Beckett archive last year, Eimear McBride''s three short, characteristically brilliant texts – collected in one work, Mouthpieces. Each text depicts a fragment of female experience, all of them told in in Eimear''s vivid, original and sharp-witted style. In ''The Adminicle Exists'', we hear the inner voice of a woman who saves her troubled, dangerous partner; in ''An Act of Violence'', a woman is quizzed about her reaction to a man’s death; in ''The Eye Machine'', the character ‘Eye’ tells of her imprisonment, flickering through a slideshow of female stereotypes.
