What's new...
The Painting is by French cubist Roger de la Fresnaye (1913)
This is what the Dutch editor said about the book: I love the idea of using architecture as a metaphor for the future, change and hope. The glass and steel structure of the house bringing technology closer to people and trying to change the way people live. But also pointing the way forward, hoping for a new and unbridled future in which people will have left the ‘’dark ages’’ and live in transparent, new times. The oncoming threat of Nazism, slowly creeping closer and leaving its mark on everyone is very well done and harrowing. The way people hope it will blow over, but others are aware of the deadly threat and take measures... ...The richness of detail, be it describing architecture or the complicated matters of the heart and relationships is magnificent... He didn't need to say that - he was buying the book, not selling it! But it is things like that that give the writer a lift during the long hours in front of the computer. Meanwhile page proofs of The Glass Room have just been corrected and the next step is to finalise the jacket design for the British hardback edition.
