Maggiori informazioni sul libro
Naomi Seberg and Nathan Math, sensational photojournalists of the digital age, are both lovers and rivals. They traverse the world separately, meeting only in airport hotels or online, always in search of spectacular, often sordid stories. The case of Célestine and Aristide Arosteguy, a libertine couple and former philosophy professors, particularly captivates Naomi. Célestine is found mutilated in her Paris apartment, and her missing husband is suspected of having murdered and cannibalized her. Accompanied by Hervé Blomqvist, an eccentric student, Naomi embarks on a quest to find Aristide, leading her to Tokyo. Meanwhile, Nathan is in Budapest photographing Zoltán Molnár, a controversial surgeon wanted by Interpol for organ trafficking. After having an affair with one of Molnár's patients, Nathan contracts a strange illness, the "Roiphe disease," and travels to Toronto to meet the doctor who identified this mysterious syndrome. These parallel narratives intertwine in a plot that blends technology, body, 3D printing, and philosophy, exploring dark themes of death and sex in all its forms. David Cronenberg delves into the psychological and physical darkness of humanity in this debut novel, incorporating his cinematic themes and aesthetics.
