[close] A group to discuss my forthcoming novel, Speaking to No. 4 (New Europe Books, Nov. 29). The book is available for pre-order, and bookstores can already get it in early November, but shipping for individuals will start at the end of November. Where is Alma? A future husband—No. 4—is desperately seeking his fiancée, who has disappeared. To locate her, he is interviewing her three former husbands, her sister, and ex sister-in-law. Could she be hiding in a French monastery? A Japanese shukubo (temple lodging)? Or maybe she is the victim of a belief in a Balkan creation myth? From America to France and Eastern Europe to Japan, this quest for a woman who has disappeared is both a psychological mystery and a meditation on our notions of space and architectural design. As husband No. 3, the Architect, says to husband-to-be No. 4, “Think of Japanese space as a novel in which the main character is absent.”

[close] Choisir un livre ensemble et se retrouver sur Paris un dimanche par mois pour échanger à propos du livre, ainsi que de nos lectures au sens large. J'aime beaucoup échanger à propos de livres. Ceci parce que je trouve très intéressant de constater que des différents lecteurs puissent aborder un même livre très différemment.
