Sobre este título
A new novel from the Booker Prize finalist Deborah Levy, the celebrated author of The Man Who Saw Everything and The Cost of Living.
At the height of her career, the piano virtuoso Elsa M. Anderson—former child prodigy, now in her thirties—walks off the stage in Vienna, mid-performance.
Now she is in Athens, watching an uncannily familiar woman purchase a pair of mechanical dancing horses at a flea market. Elsa wants the horses too, but there are no more for sale. She drifts to the ferry port, on the run from her talent and her history.
So begins her journey across Europe, shadowed by the elusive woman who seems to be her double. A dazzling portrait of melancholy and metamorphosis, Deborah Levy’s August Blue uncovers the ways in which we attempt to revise our oldest stories and make ourselves anew.
A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux.
Resumo da Crítica
Advance Praise
“[A] magnificent experiment in surrealism . . . This is a stunner.”
—Publisher’s Weekly (starred)
“An economical, elliptical, but always entertaining novel of transformation by a highly skilled enigmatist.”
—Kirkus Reviews
