The third in our 'Strange Tales' series: four standalone novellas that step outside the norm. Lost in Venice in the aftermath of the war, Cherenkov just wants to put his head down somewhere and sleep, but her copper hair snares his eye. Beguiled and weary, he allows himself to be led through a quirky little shop through which lies a vast and hidden land where her family rule in ornate splendour, where his revolver is a marvel and his motives are questioned. Confusion and wonder abound as Cherenkov and his seductress embark on a pilgrimage in a small sailing boat across sargasso seas, in search of the Old Man who dwells on a floating island where time follows its own rules. Cherenkov returns to the outside world, only to discover how badly he has come adrift in time: money is carried within plastic cards and information comes from a screen. Bereft, he is drawn back to voyage on the hidden sea, and to seek the mystery that lies at its centre which may be the only thing that can give him the answers he craves. "Ricardo Pinto's Matryoshka is excellent... a beautiful story about why we would want to get lost." - Amazon reviewer "A brilliant story that gradually draws you in. Surreal but totally captivating. I couldn't put it down." - LibraryThing reviewer Available as a numbered limited edition hardback, signed by the author, and an A5 paperback. |
