More about the book

Exploring the theme of silence in literature, this novel examines the concept of "artists of refusal," drawing inspiration from figures like Bartleby, Robert Walser, and Marcel Duchamp. Presented as a series of footnotes, it reflects on existential questions about writing and existence through the perspective of a hermetic hunchback who struggles with both love and his own inability to write. The narrative offers a profound and philosophical meditation on the nature of creativity and the complexities of the literary world.
