After surviving a near-death experience falling through the ice during her ultimate artwork, Minnie begins to uncover the truth behind her premature birth with the help of the doctor who saves her life--as it turns out--twice. Entering into his clinic, whose motto is \u003ci\u003eAll the fish needs is to get lost in the water\u003c\/i\u003e, Minnie arrives at the border of life's ebb, where meaningful art and revelations occur.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNiña Weijers' remarkable, inventive novel depicts a contemporary conceptual artist at the height of her fame, whose blasé art project has unintended \u003ci\u003econsequences\u003c\/i\u003e. Weijers invokes Kurt Vonnegut in the course of the narrative, and this novel shares Vonnegut's sense of how things can be simultaneously real and absurd. Movies and books notoriously fail to capture the social and spiritual atmosphere of the contemporary art world, but Weijers nails it. Her book is beautifully written, surprising and often profound.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e--Chris Kraus\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNiña Weijers\u003c\/b\u003e studied literary theory in Amsterdam and Dublin.
