Description:
A stirring and impeccably balanced story of self-discovery, Archipelago will appeal to fans of Katie Kitamura, Rachel Cusk, and Deborah Levy.
A story of odyssey and homecoming, Natalie Bakopoulos’s Archipelago is a striking, haunting feat that offers brilliant meditations on the slippery borders of nations, languages, and the self.In the wake of a carjacking, Archipelago’s unnamed narrator leaves the States for a translation writing residency on the Dalmation coast. Along the way, she has an unsettling, aggressive encounter with a man on a Greek ferry, which sets off a series of strange events. At the residency, she reunites with Luka, an old friend from Croatia. Luka calls her Natalia, the name of a character he’s written that seems to be based on her. The narrator doesn’t correct him, instead allowing this ascribed version of herself to unfold. Un-selfed, she extends her stay, and she and Luka strike up a romantic relationship as she continues her translation work.The hazy summer stretches on until, after a sudden shift, she reclaims narrative agency and takes a impulsive road trip back to Greece, crossing borders.
