Description
Walter Benjamin Stares at the Sea by C. D. Rose is a collection of entrancing literary fables that belong on the same shelf as Italo Calvino's "If on a Winter's Night a Traveler" and other works by Zoran Zivkovic, Stanislaw Lem, and David Markson. These 15 dreamlike tales from an underrated master of the form are well suited to readers who enjoy the work of David Mitchell, Julio Cortázar, and Steven Barthelme. The stories seem to be set in some unidentifiable but vaguely European nation, where time becomes fluid and the past, present, and future blend together. In this bewitching stew of lost masterpieces and mystically entwined image and photograph, ghosts of the past mingle with the quiddities of modernity. With its assured imagination and exploration of the line between logic and madness, Walter Benjamin Stares at the Sea is a captivating read that will keep you turning the pages.
