Acclaimed interior designer Paul receives a mysterious commission to travel to a data centre in Norway and paint the entire hangar a perfect white. While he wanders the empty corridors of the facility, a freak electrical event occurs, and Paul vanishes.
Elsewhere in time and space, a young girl named Ildr shoots a man with an arrow, mistaking him for a deer. Her and the oddly dressed stranger quickly realise they are from different worlds, and together must flee the tyrant ruling the forested pre- or post-apocalyptic landscape they find themselves in.
Seductive, disorienting and wholly original, Christian Kracht's Air is a feat of storytelling that defies the very fabric of nature itself.
Genre: Urban Fantasy
