The City and its Uncertain Walls

Truth lies not in still stability but in constant motion. Isn't that the essence of stories?

When a young man's girlfriend mysteriously disappears, his heart breaks. Determined to find the fantastical city where he suspects his beloved has settled, he embarks on a lifelong quest that leads him to a strange city with its own rules and on a journey between the real world and another world. There, people have no shadows, unicorns roam, and willows grow.

He finds his girlfriend working in a different kind of library – a library of dreams. She remembers nothing of their life together. As seasons pass and the man struggles to distinguish the fluid boundaries between the two worlds, he is called to decide what he is willing to lose.

A love story, a quest, an ode to books and the libraries that house them. A masterful novel by one of the most important writers
of contemporary literature.
