A dazzlingly inventive novel that explores the whole nature of storytelling and writing.
A woman named Naomi arrives at her sister''s house, intending, it seems, to say goodbye. She is abandoning her city life for a remote Scottish retreat, which she will share with a man called Bernát, whom she considers some kind of visionary. In a sequence of stories filtered through multiple re-tellings, she illuminates the character of this elusive individual. One story seems of special significance: about Afonso, an Amazon boatman, who could be the last speaker of his mother tongue, a language of apparently unique simplicity and precision. Bernat and Naomi are not, however, the only storytellers here. Naomi''s sister, Kate, is herself working on a novel that begins as a ghost story, but ends up as something rather different: The river is the river.
Get The River is The River by Jonathan Buckley at the best price and quality guaranteed only at Werezi Africa's largest book ecommerce store. The book was published by Sort of Books and it has 288 pages.
