When the Museum is Closed wer. angielska - Emi Yagi - książka
Producent: Harvill Secker
Every Monday, when the museum shuts its doors to the public, Rika Horauchi has a unique part-time job: engaging in Latin conversations with a statue of Venus. While initially hesitant about this unusual task, Rika soon finds herself enjoying the experience. Her exceptional language skills, recognized by her former university professor, led her to this peculiar role. During the rest of the week, she lives a quiet life, working at a frozen-food warehouse. Within the silent halls of the museum, as Venus seemingly comes to life, she and Rika explore a variety of topics, opening Rika's eyes to new intellectual and emotional realms. Their relationship blossoms into love, but complications arise when the museum's curator, Hashibami, expresses his own desire to claim Venus. How will Rika respond to this challenge? "When the Museum is Closed" is an enchanting, humorous, and thought-provoking novel that explores deep and real emotions such as love, solitude, freedom, and the perception of beauty. It also delves into societal views on women. This joyful and original queer love story showcases Emi Yagi as a significant voice among Japanese authors writing in English today.
