Good Work

Rate this book
The space around it echoed, deflecting or reflecting sound, she wasn’t sure which. Sometimes at dawn, it was as though the birds were holding a private chorus inside. It had grown so large that as soon as the sun rose the wood around it was instantly permeated with the aroma of sawdust and pine resin.

Good Work is set within and around the ending, and the making of the ending of Claire Denis’ 1999 film Beau Travail, while in another strand a girl observes a mysterious wooden fortress being assembled in a forest. This, like Becker’s previous book, is concerned with the madness, beauty, and impossibility of making artwork from thin air.
