Description

David Bentley Hart's Kenogaia is a fantasy novel that blends dark, absurd, and comic elements to explore the nature of good and evil. Set in a clockwork universe with an oppressive global society, the story follows Michael Ambrosius as he navigates a world of surveillance and deception. Hart's tale is inspired by the Gnostic Hymn of the Pearl and delves into themes of reality, illusion, spiritual existence, and the struggle to live life in truth. This imaginative exploration is woven together with a rollicking adventure about friendship, loyalty, and the rescue of true goodness from a universe darkened by delusion. In Kenogaia, Hart showcases his mastery of mythopoesis, crafting a unique narrative that will appeal to readers seeking a thought-provoking and engaging fantasy.
