When her parents die in a car accident, highly talented Austrian
physicist Ruth Schwarz is confronted with a problem. Her parents'
will calls for them to be buried in their childhood home - but for
strangers, the village of Gross-Einland remains stubbornly hidden
from view. When Ruth finally finds her way there, she makes a
disturbing discovery: beneath the town lies a vast cavern that
exerts a strange control over the lives of the villagers. There are
hidden clues about the hole everywhere, but nobody wants to talk
about it - not even when it becomes clear that the stability of the
entire town is in jeopardy. In the literary tradition of Thomas
Bernhard and Elfriede Jelinek, Raphaela Edelbauer's tale of trauma
and history weaves an opaque dream fabric that is frighteningly
true to life, and in the process she turns us towards the abject
horror that lies beneath repressed memory. The Liquid Land is a
dangerous novel, at once glittering nightmare and dark reality,
from an extraordinary new voice.
