Description: Welcome to the fictional universe of C. D. Rose whose stories seem to be set in some unidentifiable but vaguely Mitteleuropean nation and likewise have an uncanny sense of timelessness - the time could be some cobblestoned Victorian past era or the present or even the future. In these 15 dreamlike tales you'll meet a forgotten composer who enters a nostalgic dream - world while marking time in a decaying Romanian seaport; two Russian brothers one blind and one deaf building an intricate model town during an interminable train ride across the steppe; a journalist whose interview with an artist turns into a dizzying roundelay of memory and image. Ghosts of the past mingle with the quiddities of modernity in a bewitching stew where lost masterpieces surface with translations in an invisible language; where image and photograph become mystically entwined and where the very nature of reality takes on a shimmering sense of possibility and illusion.
