At the Height of the Third Day
Konttinen Laura
The old photograph is living peacefully in its photo album when suddenly a wave washes it away to a wondrous post-memory realm. Changing shape, the photograph travels to a mysterious island and meets the wise Great Mollusc, the Crocodile Twins guarding the gate of oblivion, and finally the Bird of Death, who arrives with a message: it’s time to let go and face the starry sky.
