Notes From Your Bookseller
Chloe Aridjis’ dreamlike meditation on desire, resilience, and change follows a young woman who is gifted a magic lantern that slowly shifts her perception of reality.
A magnificent work of shadow-play and a meditation on desire, metamorphosis, and mortality.
Before publishing her first novel Book of Clouds in 2009, Chloe Aridjis studied and wrote on poetry, magic shows, and the literature of the fantastic in nineteenth-century France. Her new novel, The Shadow of the Object, traverses a strange landscape between Mexico and London; contemporary desire and earlier technologies of illusion.
