In a remote house on a hilltop, a lonely boy witnesses a traumatic
event. He tries - and fails - to flee. Left alone with his
increasingly deranged parent, he dreams of safety, of joining the
other children in the town below, of escape. When at last a
stranger knocks at his door, the boy senses that his days of
isolation might be over. But by what authority does this man keep
the meticulous records he carries? What is the purpose behind his
questions? Is he friend? Enemy? Or something else altogether? A
novella filled with beauty, terror and strangeness, This
Census-Taker is a poignant and riveting exploration of memory and
identity.
