Severin Unck is the headstrong young daughter of a world famous
film director. She has inherited her father's love of the big
screen but not his exuberant gothic style of filmmaking. Instead,
Severin makes documentaries, artful and passionate and even rather
brave - for she is a realist in a fantastic alternate universe, in
which Hollywood occupies the moon, Mars is rife with lawless
saloons, and the solar system contains all manner of creatures,
cults and colonies. For Severin's latest project she leads her crew
to the watery planet of Venus to investigate the disappearance of a
diving colony there. But something goes wrong during the course of
their investigations; and her crew limp home without her. All that
remains of Severin are fragments. Can these snippets of scenes and
shots, voices and memories, pages and recordings be collected and
pieced together to tell the story of her life - and shed light on
the mystery of her vanishing? Clever, dreamy, strange and
beautifully written - Radiance is a novel about how stories give
form to worlds.
