Seeking to unlock the mystery of her father's disappearance years before, a mercurial young woman comes to believe that the barren city she inhabits is actually the underworld. Occupying the liminal spaces between reality, illusion, memory and mania, Olana recounts an allegorical journey from profound disorientation to absolute clarity. Often directly addressing the reader, she shares the discovery of her father's fate while also searching to find her way back to the land of the living, stating as she does that "Every escape from hell is an act of imagination." Told in 265 short, titled passages and gathered into four parts, Tidal Lock proceeds through the polyphonic juxtapolitions of its broken narrative and startling textures, allowing for dissonance that drives gradually yet ineluctably toward its revelatory climax. Employing many of the formal innovations used in Sea of Hooks, Lindsay Hill's eagerly awaited second novel offers the reader a uniquely challenging, provocative and rewarding narrative experience.--Publisher (11/5/2024 12:00:00 AM)

Vendeur : Arundel Books, Seattle, WA, Etats-Unis
Hardcover. Etat : New. Etat de la jaquette : New. First Edition. Signed by author! Author's second novel, following the award-winning SEA OF HOOKS. 'In this arresting story, a mercurial, disoriented young woman slowly unriddles the truth of her father's disappearance from traces she barely remembers of her past, and only tangentially understands of her present. Olana's turbulent mind is wildly alert, insistent, sarcastic, rambling, amusing, defiant . . . and in its courageous transformation rises from an imprisoned existence toward the freedom and magnanimity of a self reimagined. Tidal Lock's startling textures, non-linear narrative, direct address, and four-part lyric structure amplify the complexity of her journey and offer a challenging and provocative reading experience. Among contemporary masterworks of fiction, Tidal Lock may well find a place on the shelf of such enduring titles as Camus' The Fall, Woolf's The Waves, Celine's Journey to the End of the Night, and Kobo Abe's The Woman in the Dunes.'
