Modrosleposť

Everyone escapes in their own way. The characters run to animals and to art, looking for room to fly under constant threat, in a novel about our own prisons and the lost search for a way out. Drawing on personal experience, it links human and animal behaviour and takes up motherhood, home and the wish to escape it, ageing and dying, and the freedom of the nonconformist artist. The title, the alleged inability of the ancient Greeks to see blue, stands for our blindness to what is around us.
