So phare away

Alain Damasio

Original: French (Français) 2015 sf fantasy
In a city saturated with lighthouses, the beams have long outlived their nautical purpose: they speak, in coded sweeps of light, straining to reach each other through the thickening haze. Amid the signals, a love story — delicate, poetic, running out of time. A signature Damasio novella about language, light and distance.
