Piranesi

Susanna Clarke - 2020

Overview

Piranesi has always known the House, a place of endless halls, grand statues, and the rhythm of tides. He meticulously records his observations in notebooks, tending to the House's Dead and interacting with its birds. His solitary existence is disrupted by chalk messages and pebble arrangements, hinting at the arrival of another person and a hidden message. Simultaneously, a forgotten narrative emerges from Piranesi's own journal, detailing unfamiliar events and strangers in an unknown world.
