Stunning and surreal, this slim novel tastes of the sea and flickers with city light. A warm meditation on a cold place, it quietly explores the pleasures and limits of seeing—and becoming—with a luminous touch that’s both feather-light and lonely. I was transfixed by its sexy intellectualism, succulent voyeurism, and aching fixity.
