An electronic writer named Ali or Alix writes bespoke stories, on condition that whoever enters the tale emerges transformed. The novel travels from London to Paris, Capri and cyberspace, blending tales, contemporary myths and popular culture to explore love, desire and the boundary between the real and the imagined.
Originally published in 2001, it was shortlisted for the Orange Prize and won the Lambda Literary Award for lesbian fiction.
For readers of contemporary literary fiction, especially those interested in LGBTQ+ narrative and formal experimentation.
