Eerie, unsettling and hauntingly beautiful - a new collaboration
from the bestselling creators of Holloway'Ness goes beyond what we
expect books to do. Beyond poetry, beyond the word, beyond the bomb
-- it is an aftertime song. It is dark, ever so dark, nimble and
lethal.It is a triumphant libretto of mythic modernism for our
poisoned age. Ness is something else, and feels like it always has
been' Max Porter, Booker-longlisted author of Lanny and Grief is
the Thing with FeathersSomewhere on a salt-and-shingle island,
inside a ruined concrete structure known as The Green Chapel, a
figure called The Armourer is leading a ritual with terrible
intent. But something is coming to stop him.Five more-than-human
forms are traversing land, sea and time towards The Green Chapel,
moving to the point where they will converge and become Ness. Ness
has lichen skin and willow-bones. Ness is made of tidal drift,
green moss and deep time.Ness has hagstones for eyes and speaks
only in birds. And Ness has come to take this island back. What
happens when land comes to life? What would it take for land to
need to come to life? Using word and image, Robert Macfarlane and
Stanley Donwood have together made a minor modern
myth.Part-novella, part-prose-poem, part-mystery play, in Ness
their skills combine to dazzling, troubling effect. Robert
Macfarlane is the author of The Lost Words with Jackie Morris, The
Old Ways and Underland, among other books. Stanley Donwood is an
artist and the author of Slowly Downward and Household Worms.His
next books are There Will Be No Quiet and Bad Island.
