Description

Seiobo - a Japanese goddess - has a peach tree in her garden that blossoms once every three thousand years: its fruit brings immortality.

In Seiobo There Below, we see her returning again and again to mortal realms, searching for a glimpse of perfection.

Beauty, in Krasznahorkai's new novel, reflects, however fleetingly, the sacred - even if we are mostly unable to bear it.

Seiobo shows us an ancient Buddha being restored; Perugino managing his workshop; a Japanese Noh actor rehearsing; a fanatic of Baroque music lecturing a handful of old villagers; tourists intruding into the rituals of Japan's most sacred shrine; a heron hunting....

Over these scenes and more - structured by the Fibonacci sequence - Seiobo hovers, watching it all.
