Description
Ideal for fans of What You Are Looking for is in the Library and DallerGut Dream Department Store, Yagi's winningly quirky tale revolves around a museum attendant who strikes up an unlikely friendship with the Venus de Milo.
Rika Horiuchi’s new part-time job is to converse with a statue of the Venus de Milo – in Latin – every Monday, when the museum is closed.
Initially reluctant, Rika starts to enjoy her strange new job: she and Venus talk about everything. They fall in love, and (with the help of a statue of Artemis’ hunting dog) eventually break free.
This fresh and original new novel from the author of Diary of a Void confirms Emi Yagi as one of the most exciting Japanese writers published in English today.
