"The Great Tides have already eaten deeply into the cliff. Even in their time it was only a slanting headland, a few hundred meters long, an outcrop of the mountain whose spine, eroded by age but artificially reinforced, provides a foundation for Baïblanca, a bit more to the south. Narval and she often came there when they were children. That's where he had his villa built." At the far end of a South, on the shore of a sea, in a world
poised between death and rebirth, stands Baïblanca, a city
haunted by the rising waters, where metamorphosed humans live
side by side with living artwork and other enigmatic creatures. Seven short stories, seven journeys in the infinitely mutable space-time of Elisabeth Vonarburg. |
