To Set the Stone Trembling

Bag om To Set the Stone Trembling

"To Set the Stone Trembling is a dystopian novel about the terrifying genius of language to define the limits of human experience. It is both a compelling literary exploration and a challenging intellectual thriller. Book One, The Library of Enduring Dreams, opens in a recognizable Toronto with Anna Winston, a young widow desperately avoiding and pursuing her own identity, in flight from people who are determined to create a post-literate utopia through cyber-cerebral manipulation. Book Two, The Invisible Labyrinth, takes up the narrative two generations later, following Anna's grandson in his attempts to endure in a regime where his poetic sensibility is a lethal curse. David Winston pursues love and coherence against a background story set fifty thousand years in the past, when human self-awareness through language began."
