As your paths cross and intertwine, you'll soon realise that no story is ever new. A pair of red shoes to take you wherever you want to go.You're forever wandering, everywhere and nowhere, but where is your home?And where will you choose to go? To New York, to follow your dreams?To Berlin or Amsterdam? Lima or Tijuana? Or onto a train that will never stop? The choices you make about which pages to turn to may mean you'll become a tourist or an undocumented migrant, a mother or a murderer, and you will meet many travellers with their own stories to tell. So you make a Faustian pact with a devil, who gives you a gift, and a warning. You're desperate to escape your boring life teaching English in Jakarta, to go out and see the world. It's a reminder that borders are real, and a playful experiment that turns the traditional adventure story on its head.īY (AUTHOR) Paramaditha, Intan, TRANSLATED BY Epstein, Stephen JĭESCRIPTION : The most ingenious and unusual novel you will read all year, where you choose your own storyYou've grown roots, you're gathering moss.
