A mesmerising novel about a lost man in search of a connection - set against the backdrop of one of the greatest art events in modern history, Marina Abramovic's The Artist is Present.
'One of my stand-out Australian reads from 2016 . . . A glorious novel, meditative and special' Hannah Kent, author of BURIAL RITES

Arky Levin, a film composer in New York, has promised his wife that he will not visit her in hospital, where she is suffering in the final stages of a terminal illness. She wants to spare him a burden that would curtail his creativity, but the promise is tearing him apart. One day he finds his way to MOMA and sees Mariana Abramovic in The Artist is Present. The performance continues for seventy-five days and, as it unfolds, so does Arky. As he watches and meets other people drawn to the exhibit, he slowly starts to understand what might be missing in his life and what he must do.

Heather Rose is the author of four novels, including White Heart, The Butterfly Man, The River Wife and The Museum of Modern Love, which won the Stella Prize 2017, the Margaret Scott Prize 2017 and the Christina Stead Award 2017, was shortlisted for the ALS Gold Medal 2017, and longlisted for the Dublin IMPAC Literary Award. Heather has also written three novels for children in the acclaimed Tuesday McGillycuddy series, published internationally under the pen-name of Angelica Banks with fellow author Danielle Wood. She lives in Tasmania.
