The Longcut

English

By (author): Emily Hall

The narrator of The Longcut is an artist who doesnt know what her art is. As she gets lost on her way to a meeting in an art gallery, walking around in circles in a city she knows perfectly well, she finds herself endlessly sidetracked and distracted by the question of what her work is and how shell know it when she sees it. 


 Her mental peregrinations take her through the elements that make up her life: her dull office job where she spends the day moving items into a completed column, insomniac nights in her so-called studio (also known as her tiny apartment), encounters with an enigmatic friend who may or may not know her better than she knows herself. But wherever she looks she finds only more questionswhat is the difference between the world and the photographed world, why do objects wither in different contexts, what is Cambridge bluethat lead her further away from the one thing that really matters. 


 An extraordinary feat of syntactical dexterity and comic ingenuity, The Longcut is ultimately a story of resistance to easy answers and the place of art and the artist in the world.
