Description

28 Paradises is a unique collaboration between Nobel Prize-winning author Patrick Modiano and his partner, illustrator Dominique Zehrfuss. This English-language edition brings together prose and painting in a rare and captivating way.

The book features twenty-eight dreams, or rather one dream in twenty-eight parts, each of which was initially captured by Zehrfuss's brightly colored gouaches. Modiano then reimagined these visions as poems, creating an exquisite and melancholic world that invites the reader to enter a shared realm.

This beautifully crafted book showcases how writing and visual art can come together to create a unique emotional experience. With its sensitive translation by Damion Searls, 28 Paradises is a must-have for anyone interested in ekphrastic writing and the intersection of poetry and painting.
