Maggiori informazioni sul libro

A woman who works as a secretary for a blind man discovers how her admiration for him leads her to love. His blindness protects her: a horrible deformity that she dares not reveal serves as both a pretext and a zone of exclusion. The two darknesses attract and repel each other like invisible animals. Pritchett can describe these rituals or battles like no one else, with a laconic style capable of enabling new meanings in each omission, in every blank space. Thus, the six stories in this extraordinary book allow for the reconstruction of an imagined world detail by detail.
