ISBN:  9781639731701 (hardcover) : 1639731709 (hardcover) Description:  309 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm Requests:  4 Summary:  From the International Booker Prize-winning translator and Women's Prize finalist, an utterly beguiling novel about eight translators and their search for a world-renowned author who goes missing in a primeval Polish forest. Eight translators arrive at a house in a primeval Polish forest on the border of Belarus. It belongs to the world-renowned author Irena Rey, and they are there to translate her magnum opus, Gray Eminence. But within days of their arrival, Irena disappears without a trace. The translators, who hail from eight different countries but share the same reverence for their beloved author, begin to investigate where she may have gone while proceeding with work on her masterpiece. They explore this ancient wooded refuge with its intoxicating slime molds and lichens and study her exotic belongings and layered texts for clues. But doing so reveals secrets-and deceptions-of Irena Rey's that they are utterly unprepared for. Forced to face their differences as they grow increasingly paranoid in this fever dream of isolation and obsession, soon the translators are tangled up in a web of rivalries and desire, threatening not only their work but the fate of their beloved author herself. This hilarious, thought-provoking debut novel is a brilliant examination of art, celebrity, the natural world, and the power of language. It is an unforgettable, unputdownable adventure with a small but global cast of characters shaken by the shocks of love, destruction, and creation in one of Europe's last great wildernesses.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Aina Haina Public Library Adult New Books Croft Shelving Cart   Add Copy to MyList Ewa Beach P/S Library Adult Fiction Croft Transit   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Acquisitions, LLH   in Processing   Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Acquisitions --- On Order   On Order   Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Acquisitions --- On Order   in Processing   Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult New Books Croft Checked out 05/12/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Fiction Croft Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Fiction Croft Transit Request   Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Fiction Croft Transit Request   Add Copy to MyList Manoa Public Library Adult Fiction Croft Checked out 05/18/2024 Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
