Description
In the grip of a fever, a woman reaches for a novel she hasn’t opened in years—only to find a get-well-soon inscription from an ex-girlfriend who once introduced her to Paul Auster. As the pages pull her back into the past, four sharply drawn “portraits” emerge: Johanna, now a celebrated TV host; Niki, a friend who vanished without a trace; Alejandro, arriving like a storm; and Brigitte, whose guarded presence hints at a secret that still burns. What begins as a personal mystery becomes a meditation on memory’s unreliability, the stories we tell ourselves, and the intimate power of love, loss, and anxiety. With exhilarating, provocative prose, Ia Genberg crafts a human portrait in fragments—asking, again and again, who is truly being painted: the subject, or the one holding the brush.
