Welcome to the fictional universe of C. D. Rose, whose stories seem to be set in some unidentifiable but vaguely Mitteleuropean nation, and likewise have an uncanny sense of timelessness the time could be some cobblestoned Victorian past era, or the present, or even the future. In these 15 dreamlike tales, youll meet a forgotten composer who enters a nostalgic dreamworld while marking time in a decaying Romanian seaport two Russian brothers, one blind and one deaf, building an intricate model town during an interminable train ride across the steppe a journalist whose interview with an artist turns into a dizzying roundelay of memory and image. Ghosts of the past mingle with the quiddities of modernity in a bewitching stew where lost masterpieces surface with translations in an invisible language where image and photograph become mystically entwined, and where the very nature of reality takes on a shimmering sense of possibility and illusion.
