About Piranesi

A man lives alone in a house with infinite halls, statues, and tides, keeping careful records of a world he's slowly beginning to question. Clarke's dreamlike precision and the deep solitude of her protagonist echo Circe's island years — the sense of a consciousness fully inhabiting a strange, beautiful, isolating world.
