Amidst the letters of the alphabet, in twenty-six different settings, a life reveals itself. Flashing backwards and forwards through time and place, we meet our hero, Pietro Russell. We find him as a photographer in Sri Lanka, a student in Vermont, a child in England. We even meet him before he is born, to a war-wounded English father and young Italian mother. The moments of Pietro's existence come together in this novel of rare invention, whose magic lantern patterns illuminate an ordinary life both poignant and compelling.
