![]() ![]() ![]() As summer fades to autumn and implacable winter nears, the narrator falls half in love with sleep and its easeful twin, death. The "lover" she addresses over the sea never replies, and she eventually abandons hope of answers, instead ranging the city with arthropodic "friend" Longhorn, who provides unsettling insights into the cycle of birth, change and absorption into new life. The "woman" whose 30 letters make up the novel has recently come on a white ship to Tainaron, an insect-city within a volcanic cone, but she's forgotten why. Handsomely embellished with Finnish State Prize winner Inari Krohn's provocative etchings and xylographies, this brief, lyrical epistolary meditation on life, love and death, nominated for the prestigious Finlandia Prize, is the first of modern fabulist Krohn's works published in the U.S. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() Then she doesn’t appear until chapter 19 for a chapter or three, and maybe another one before the end. The end of the first book was Morgan was about to set off the next/same day to stay ahead of the coming winter storms, to do adventure and gain wings, probably doing quests and battling stuff… If she appeared before chapter 19 I missed it as the chapter was so short I must have missed it.

It all simply plods along, en route to a nervous collapse that manages to seem perfectly unwarranted by the time it finally occurs." The audience isn't given the slightest clue about Esther's quirks, her fears, her peculiarly distorted notion of herself." The film has a "way of spelling things out ad nauseam and still not making them clear." Even where it should have flourished, like in descriptions of Esther's life in New York, "there's no satirical edge to any of this, and no dramatic edge either. ![]() Janet Maslin of The New York Times was unimpressed, stating that the film's portrayal of Esther was "disastrous because it is the character's imaginative life that leads her to a collapse, and the movie barely even goes skin-deep.
