Winner of the Wellcome Prize

A finalist for the Samuel Johnson Prize and the Costa Award

"A memoir quite unlike any other. It has the strength of an arrow: taut, spiked, quavering, working to its fatal conclusion...an extraordinary story told in an extraordinary way."--The Sunday Times

"The most heartbreaking memoir of the year."--Independent on Sunday

Winner of the Wellcome Book Prize, and finalist for every major nonfiction award in the UK, including the Samuel Johnson Prize and the Costa Award, The Iceberg is artist and writer Marion Coutts' astonishing memoir; an "adventure of being and dying "and a compelling, poetic meditation on family, love, and language.

In 2008, Tom Lubbach, the chief art critic for The Independent was diagnosed with a brain tumor. The Iceberg is his wife, Marion Coutts', fierce, exquisite account of the two years leading up to his death. In spare, breathtaking prose, Coutts conveys the intolerable and, alongside their two year old son Ev--whose language is developing as Tom's is disappearing--Marion and Tom lovingly weather the storm together. In short bursts of exquisitely textured prose, The Iceberg becomes a singular work of art and an uplifting and universal story of endurance in the face of loss.

It’s convenient to make an order
Scent: Tropical Island
I have been so busy that I just don’t have time to get to the grocery store so I do 90% of my shopping and they’ll pay it online which is added convenience for me and I really like the fact that I got the amount of bags I purchased for the price however I do wish they smelled stronger once you take the bag out of the scented portion of it kind of leaves really quick but other than that, they’re good. They’re good bags. Very good bags very strong. They hold a lot and they stretch. That’s even another nice thing about them.

Strong Drawstring Bags With a Light Fresh Scent and Good Fit
Scent: Tropical Island
These kitchen trash bags are easy to use and fit standard tall kitchen bins without any struggle. The drawstring closure is convenient for tying and carrying, and it feels secure when lifting the bag out once full. The material has a good balance of flexibility and strength. It stretches enough to handle everyday kitchen waste without feeling overly thin, and it holds up well during normal use when not overloaded. The tropical island scent is noticeable when first opening the box and while lining the bin, giving a light fresh smell that helps reduce typical kitchen odors. It is not overpowering, but it is definitely present. I like that the bags open easily and stay in place inside the bin without slipping down. The drawstrings also make disposal more controlled and less messy compared to twist tie styles. Overall, this is a reliable set of kitchen trash bags with a fresh scent, easy handling, and solid everyday durability that makes routine cleanup more convenient.
