Description
Critically acclaimed Dutch writer Cees Nooteboom forges a dreamlike tale of travelers finding grace and redemption in the hinterlands of the Australian outback. Alma, a young Brazilian woman who remains optimistic and idealistic despite her brutal gang-****** in a San Paolo slum, and her more down-to-earth friend Almut, travel to Australia to visit the sacred "Aboriginal Sickness Dreaming Place." There she finds a pair of lovers, an aborigine man, and a Dutch writer who discovers her wearing wings and hiding in a closet. Full of visionary sequences and a magical sense of interconnection, Nooteboom's novel is romantic, transcendent, and tragic--an unforgettable tale.

Expert Reviews
"Luminous. Numinous. Glorious. [A] masterpiece by visionary Dutchman [Cees] Nooteboom." (starred review)
Reviewer: Tom Barbash, (New York Times Book Review)
"In LOST PARADISE, [Cees] Nooteboom, a cerebral, experimental writer renowned in his native Netherlands (indeed throughout Europe)...brazenly explores notions of reinvention, healing, loss, and the divine."
