‘We were alone in the hotel gardens, awaiting fruit cocktails that did not arrive. Having visited this country so many times over the years, I ought to know that time here is not the same as elsewhere, that showing one’s impatience here is the height of bad manners. I know this, but it does not prevent astonishment, nor even annoyance. We are who we are.’
In this dreamlike novella, in the bewitching melancholy of nocturnal India, an art dealer pursues the goddess of the void.
La Déesse du vide was first published in Rue du Regard (P.O.L éditeur, 2012). The present publication is a bilingual edition, comprising a new translation in English and a revised version in French.
