Description
A house in North London serves as the backdrop for Helena's introspective struggle. She is working on a book about Joseph Cornell, an American artist, while her thoughts are with her sister Alice, who works in Chechnya. As she navigates these conflicting visions, a Czech journalist and photographer, Ed, arrives in London, bringing news of Alice and a request for temporary accommodation. Ed's presence sparks a series of events that challenge Helena's perceptions, as the enigmatic life of Joseph Cornell and his mysterious boxes exert an influence on her mind and spirit. The novel charts the course of these few days, exploring the tensions between past and present, comfort and hardship. Gabriel Josipovici's novel is a nuanced exploration of identity, creativity, and the human condition, as Helena grapples with her own sense of purpose and connection to those around her.
