Adornfeld’s working record encounters Julia’s counter-record. Questions travel beyond the house into an artists’ colony and political organization. Every account must answer to the people it describes.

The Prelude, three novels, and Postlude form the literary work. Begin with the Prelude for the complete reading sequence, or try fifty pages of Novel I before committing to the whole. The guides can wait until you want to return.
