Description
A Brazilian traveler arrives in London for a mission he can’t quite explain, only to find his sense of purpose slipping into dread and confusion. As he moves through Hackney’s immigrant neighborhoods, reality begins to warp—memories fade, identities shift, and unsettling encounters blur the line between desire, fear, and self-invention. With each step, he becomes increasingly consumed by the terror of being seen clearly, especially in moments that force him to confront who he is becoming. Blending surreal, sensual, and at times grotesque imagery, this novel explores the unsettling space between identities and offers an intimate, disturbing portrait of dementia from the inside out, in a voice unmistakably shaped by João Gilberto Noll’s daring, boundary-pushing style.
