A book that feels plucked from my own head. Part magical companion a la Mrs Caliban, part existentialism a la Pure Colour, and a true love letter to Marta Becket and Death Valley.
Our narrator is contemplating the life of the eccentric dancer Marta Becket as a lens for her larger questions about the roles of art and religion in life.
