Cemetery in Barnes

By Gabriel Josipovici

A haunting exploration of loss, memory, and the search for meaning in a life shaped by translation. Gabriel Josipovici's The Cemetery in Barnes weaves together three distinct narratives into a short, intense novel that resonates with an eerie calm.

Follow a translator as he navigates life after loss, moving from London to Paris and eventually to Wales. His journey is underscored by the music of Monteverdi and the poetry of Du Bellay, as he grapples with the complexities of memory, routine, and the enduring power of art. This introspective character study, set against the backdrop of cemeteries and quiet apartments, is for readers who appreciate literary fiction that delves into the depths of the human condition. Will he find peace, or will the past continue to haunt him?
