Description

The city of Palimpsest exists at the threshold between life and death, dreaming and waking. It is a place where the grotesque and beautiful coexist, and the journey to reach it is both a miracle and a curse. Four individuals, each carrying a deep loss, embark on a voyage that will forever change them. A map of Palimpsest is etched onto their skin after a single night of ecstasy, marking them for this wondrous yet treacherous destination. As they navigate the city's ghost trains, lion-priests, and cream-filled canals, they will discover more than they ever could have imagined. Catherynne Valente weaves a spellbinding tale of love, loss, and transformation in Palimpsest.
