Description

In a world succumbing to an encroaching, all-consuming ice, a nameless narrator embarks on a hallucinatory and obsessive quest. He is driven by the pursuit of a mysterious "glass girl," a woman he once loved but who evades his grasp. This surreal journey explores themes of obsession, loss, and the disintegration of reality against a chilling, frozen landscape. Anna Kavan's distinctive, dreamlike prose immerses the reader in a disorienting yet compelling narrative where the external world mirrors the internal turmoil of its characters.
