Book
The forgetting room : a fiction / Nick Bantock.
"When his artist grandfather dies, leaving him the family home in Spain, Armon travels to Andalusia with the intention of selling the property. Once there, however, he finds a sealed cardboard case containing a small oil painting and a surreal booklet. As he examines these mysterious artifacts, Armon realizes that he is holding both his grandfather’s last communication to him and a puzzle. He begins to decipher the conundrum, and as each new answer leads to more questions, Armon finds himself painting furiously in his grandfather’s old studio strangely compelled to create a picture that is somehow linked to his legacy. Featuring painting, drawings, collages and paper foldouts, this is no ordinary novel. Captivatingly imagined and genuinely memorable in its deeply personal account of a man in search of himself, “The Forgetting Room” is a handmade treasure, a seamless blend of artistry and language and a tantalizing read."-- [Goodreads]
