The Last House

Beschreibung

Judith Keller’s story brings the streets of Bogotá to life in electrifying detail. As the narrator makes her way from the center of the city to its outskirts, a tumultuous portrait emerges, teeming with life, shaken by unrest. Her search for “the last house,” the house that marks the end of civilization, is as much an exploration of the role of the observer in society as it is an inquiry into urban identity. In their striking originality, Keller’s descriptions remind us that the depiction of a city can be its invention.
