A lyrical novel of identity, transformation, and obsession from the author of Hot Milk and The Man Who Saw Everything.

Περιγραφή

In August Blue, Booker Prize-nominated author Deborah Levy crafts a deeply introspective and atmospheric novel that drifts between melancholy, memory, and metamorphosis. When world-renowned pianist Elsa M. Anderson abruptly walks off stage mid-performance, she begins a surreal odyssey of escape—from fame, from identity, and perhaps from herself.

Haunted by a mysterious woman who appears to be her double, Elsa’s pursuit becomes a philosophical and emotional journey across European cities—Athens, Paris, Sardinia—as she confronts questions of selfhood, artistic legacy, and reinvention.

Main Themes of the Book

  • Fragmented Identity: A meditation on losing and recreating oneself.
  • Double & Shadow Selves: The strange presence of a woman who mirrors Elsa.
  • Exile & Displacement: Physical travel echoes inner emotional dislocation.
  • The Burden of Genius: What happens when creative brilliance becomes a cage.
  • Art & Expression: Music, memory, and the need to create or abandon one's craft.
