Following the story of two men who seem to both be travelling through strange and unfamiliar landscapes, Air departs from reality with a subtlety that’s hardly noticeable, and is generous with its questions but careful with its answers. I would not be surprised if this won a few prizes down the line; so observant, so direct, and so deft. \"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo men venture through strange landscapes towards unknowable destinations. Paul, a feted designer, wanders the echoing corridors of a server farm in Norway - before, in a sudden blackout, he seems to vanish. In another time and space, a wounded stranger wakes in a forest, watched over by a young girl who helps him flee to an icebound settlement where perhaps he will find safety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInventive, enigmatic and chromatically resonant, Air is the seductively disorienting new novel from one of the most significant European writers working today. Heir to the ingenious fictions of Ursula K. Le Guin or Jorge Luis Borges, resistant to single interpretation, it unfolds as a haunting journey through a layered universe that may be a dream, the afterlife or reality's inverted twin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAuthor: Kracht, Christian\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eModern \u0026amp; contemporary fiction (post c 1945)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublished on 16 July 2026 by Profile Books Ltd (Serpent's Tail) in the United Kingdom.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePaperback \/ softback | 208 pages\u003cbr\u003e138 x 214 x 19 | 186g\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kracht, Christian","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58393825771894,"sku":"9781805228844","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0362\/8423\/5908\/files\/9781805228844.jpg?v=1785847225","url":"https:\/\/haslemerebookshop.co.uk\/products\/9781805228844","provider":"The Haslemere Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
