Description
Magic, depravity, spiritual ambition, sensuality, and love – The Painted Alphabet binds mythic and modern time together in a rich, slyly suggestive novel based on an old Balinese poem. In a fresh and startling picture of Bali – where witches coexist with tourists and talking animals – the novel explores a kaleidoscope of vanity, desire, and the longing for goodness.
