Description

Severin Unck's life was a documentary in progress, a story waiting to be told. As the daughter of a renowned film director, she had inherited his passion for the big screen, but her own style was more subtle and artful. Her latest project took her to the watery planet of Venus, where she led an expedition to investigate the disappearance of a diving colony. But something went wrong, and Severin's crew returned without her. The only remnants of her journey were fragments: snippets of scenes, shots, voices, and memories. Could these pieces be collected and pieced together to tell her story? To shed light on the mystery of her vanishing? This novel is a meditation on how stories give form to worlds, and the power of narrative to shape our understanding of reality. Catherynne M. Valente's writing is clever, dreamy, and strangely beautiful. With Radiance, she explores the intersection of storytelling and truth, creating a work that is both personal and universal.
