Description:
On a late summer day, a man stumbles upon a garden. He is amazed by the flower beds, the lawns and the brick wall that runs in a semicircle around the garden. The sun pierces through the white cloud cover. On the terrace lie blue-white feathers that must once have belonged to a pigeon. How strange that he has never seen this half-forgotten garden before! The more time he spends in the garden and the adjacent conservatory, the more he becomes attached to it. When he also spends the night in the garden after a while, he begins to understand that something is not quite right. The days are getting shorter and winter is approaching. Dry leaves are piling up and in the expanding puddles he sees the clouds drifting by. How did he get here? And why does he have the strange feeling that the garden is getting bigger every day? He has to find something to free him from this suffocating narrative and comes up with an intervention with unforeseeable consequences.
Garden is a poetic novella in which a man makes constant and desperate attempts to escape from a garden whose gate is open. In a light-hearted tone, a fabulous story unfolds with Kafkaesque features.
About Light and Sound: 'A tender and almost mystical debut novel, in which both the main character and the reader sometimes become entangled in the mysteries of life.' ***** – Gazet van Antwerpen 'Great ambition and wild imagination.' – De Standaard
