Completing a run of three years, this month the Ark Audio Book Club crew have read "Torpor" by Chris Kraus, the final part of the "I Love Dick" Trilogy. Set in 1991, three years before the events of I Love Dick, Torpor follows Sylvie and Jarome, characters with names borrowed from Georges Perec’s Things: A Story of the 60s, which cannot be read as anything but pseudonyms for Chris and Sylvère, on an ill-fated journey to Romania in the vain hope that they can somehow adopt a baby, despite the fact that post-revolution, Romania has banned all adoption. The journey actually takes them to the heart of the compromises and traumas upon which their relationship is built, leaving them with no hope of a simple happily-ever-after together but maybe a stronger sense of how to go on living. Featuring Macon Holt, Sarah Ommannney, Neus Casanova Vico and Giovanna Alesandro. You can read Macon's review here http://arkbooks.dk/book-review-torpor-by-chris-kraus/
