Our Last Year

By engaging with the thought processes of its characters, Our Last Year examines human nature and selfhood with an unrelenting gaze, asking us to reconsider our own relationship with our consciousness – how it controls us, and how it might become a source of invention, creativity and connection.

Description

Our Last Year is a book about change; through the internal narration of its two characters, the novel follows the disintegration and renewal of a marriage, in synthesis with a much wider natural reality. It tells a story of damage and destruction, both painful and restorative, and necessary. The trajectory of the novel – of becoming part of the evolutionary process, awake to it, enlivened by it, compassionate towards it – is dramatised through two minds, asking readers to reconsider their relationship with themselves, with others, and with the planet itself.’A lucid and refreshingly uplifting masterpiece about a fraught period in the life of a married couple, Our Last Year surprised and moved and entranced me, calming and healing me with its wisdom and perspectives.’ – Tao Lin.
