Synopsis "The Tower"

Once upon a time, there was a tower on a hill, beyond the dark trees, somewhere north. An octagonal tower on two levels: glass upstairs and stone below, beneath a steep slate roof – a folly, it was said. According to locals, a young woman named Annie who fell ill was confined to the tower by her father for three years and died there, alone. Fascinated by Annie’s story, Thea Lenarduzzi attempts to piece the past together in a formidable act of imagination, which, tugging at the strings of the how, why and who of stories, begins to unravel the very idea of storytelling itself. Veering between fiction, memoir, fairy tale and folklore, The Tower is an extraordinary book about power, abuse and why we don’t always tell the story we set out to tell.

De él apenas se sabe que estudió ingeniería y literatura en la Universidad de Cornell, donde fue alumno de Vladimir Nabokov (aunque éste no recordara haberlo tenido en clase), que redactó folletos técnicos para la compañía aérea Boeing, que envió a un cómico a recoger el National Book Award y que vive en Nueva York.
