Felix Culpa
Overview
What happens when we lose the narrative of our own life, and fall into someone else’s?
Felix Culpa is a work of extraordinary literary alchemy: a novel made out of lines taken from a hundred great works of literature. It follows a writer on the trail of a boy recently released from prison, who has been discovered dead in the cold north, frozen and alone. But in searching for the boy’s story, will he lose his own?

Praise
