このコンテンツについて
From the award-winning, bestselling “literary pied piper” (The New York Times) who brought us Boy, Snow, Bird comes a masterful story that asks: What if the different sides of your personality had trust issues with each other?
New Day, New You!
Kinga is a woman who is just trying to make it through the week. There’s a Kinga for every day: On Mondays, you can catch Kinga-A deleting food delivery apps. By Friday, Kinga-E is happy to spend the days soaking, wine-drunk, in the bath.
Kingas A-G, perhaps unsurprisingly, live a varied life—between them is a professional matchmaker, a scent-crazed perfumer, and a window cleaner, all with varying degrees of apathy, anger, introversion, and bossiness. At least three of them are Team Toxic.
It’s an arrangement that’s not without its fair share of admin, grudges, and half-truths. But when Kinga-A discovers a man tied up in their apartment, the Kingas have to reckon with the possibility that one of them might be planning to destroy them all.
How many versions of oneself can one self safely contain?

“Adventurous readers will enjoy following its twisty path.”—Publishers Weekly
“A surrealist romp…Oyeyemi offers us an existential farce that wrestles with what it means to reconcile all the pieces of yourself, especially when they're in constant disagreement about how best to live a life.”—Kirkus Reviews
“A wild ride. . . . [A New New Me] belongs with Oyeyemi’s more recent works: playful, self-aware tales that revel in the hijinks of storytelling. . . . A comedy about the masks we wear, if you will, as well as an existential mystery. . . . The denouement, when it finally comes, is so gloriously absurd, you can't help but salute Oyeyemi's knack for artful nonsense. She is a gleefully unapologetic trickster; whether you adore this novel or chuck it across the room may come down to how much mischief for the sake of mischief you can handle. My bet is you’ll finish it, as I did, feeling bemused but also perversely entertained, and grateful for the ride.”—The Guardian (UK), Book of the Day
