Description
A young man of uncertain origins moves through life as if caught in a dream—one that accelerates, darkens, and refuses to explain itself. As he endures unsettling medical ordeals and the emotional aftershocks of love, his story unfolds in a series of eerie, otherworldly encounters that blur the line between fate and memory. With a haunting, lyrical intensity, the novel explores mortality, identity, and the fragile ways intimacy can both illuminate and wound. In Mike McCormack’s distinctive style—spare yet richly atmospheric—each turn of the narrative feels like a requiem already in progress, leaving readers to confront what it means to live when the ending seems to arrive too soon.
