The Origin of Vermilion by Katy Masuga
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 3.7 MB
Overview: Full of surprises, Masuga retranscribes history into our bodies as we go with her from one world to another on a kind of train ride forward in the pursuit of something ethereal, ephemeral or metaphysical, something that is constantly moving away from loss—that of the grandfather, of the mother, of war, of the birds who never made it on their “eternal search of the Great Enigma” to Simorgh. This book explores the inside-outside paradox of being and living in a world among others. As such, it demands attention and patience. Carefully constructed, even if it at times deceptively appearing like a stream of consciousness narrative, Masuga’s The Origin of Vermilion is thought-provoking, moving and delightful. An unexpected, nomadic voyage.

The Arcades Project has been achieved in novel form, replete with protagonist, plot tension, and climax. Didn’t we all want into being this passage not only through the mind but also the life of the mind surrounding it? Crossing the boundary between fiction and nonfiction, philosophy and ekphrasis, diary and religious text, Masuga reveals our innermost ambition to us: to matter—not merely, but to animate it.
