“I can smell the cold; it filters up my nostrils, tinkling the hairs inside with mint flower chill. The frost plates itself to the air, every grabful of it decorated like chainmail; scratchings on every outline, intricately flaked etch-sketchings tracing over the size and shape of things – but pushing hard enough to break through, making all these jagged punctures and scraps, these holes in the wind. The smell is bare and fierce, of wulv-teeth and shiverfoot fur, of glistening ice rock and the scents of these snow whites and emulsion blues. The smell of the North!”

A nameless author sits alone in an old wooden shack. Ink hits paper. What follows is a tale of the deepest fantasy, a tale of imagination, of incredible creatures and fantastical lands, of dark struggles and wild adventure. The heart of the tale, however, is an internal war, a bitter battle against 'growing up', and filled with chaos, confusion, and existentialism. As the adventure continues, things become darker, bleaker and fatalistic, the possibility of clinging on to one’s imagination and fictions seeming increasingly impossible. The fight to keep on going no matter what becomes fierce and desperate, and in a story where fiction and fact, reality and fantasy, dream and wakefulness blur together, everything hinges on finding success.

This is a story about what lies between the child and the adult. It is about escapism, and what happens when it begins to fail.

The debut novel of Peter Setters, An Adventure of Unparalleled Importance is a dark original imagination-fantasy for adult humans and similar creatures.

Written with passionate conviction, this story is being told by two of its characters: Ben, a twenty-seven years old student, and Anita, a plain-spoken, spunky, uneducated redhead, freshly married to Lenny, his aging father. Behind his back, Ben and Anita find themselves increasingly drawn to each other. They take turns using an old tape recorder to express their most intimate thoughts, not realizing at first that their voices are being captured by him.

Meanwhile, Lenny is trying to keep a secret from both of them: his ex-wife, Ben's mother, a talented pianist, has been stricken with an early-onset alzheimer. Taking care of her gradually weighs him down. What emerges in these characters is a struggle, a desperate, daring struggle to find a path out of conflicts, out of isolation, from guilt to forgiveness.

Home. A simple word; a loaded one. You can say it in a whisper; you can say it in a cry. Expressed in the voices of father and daughter, you can hear a visceral longing for an ideal place, a place never to be found again.

Imagine the shock, imagine the sadness when a daughter discovers her father’s work, the poetry he had never shared with anyone during the last two decades of his life. Six years after that moment of discovery, which happened in her childhood home while mourning for his passing, Uvi Poznansky presents a tender tribute: a collection of poems and prose, half of which is written by her, and half—by her father, the author, poet and artist Zeev Kachel. She has been translating his poems for nearly a year, with careful attention to rhyme and rhythm, in an effort to remain faithful to the spirit of his words.

Zeev’s writing is always autobiographical in nature; you can view it as an ongoing diary of his life. Uvi’s writing is rarely so, especially when it comes to her prose. She is a storyteller who delights in conjuring up various figments of her imagination, and fleshing them out on paper. She sees herself chasing her characters with a pen, in an attempt to see the world from their point of view, and to capture their voices. But in some of her poems, she offers you a rare glimpse into her most guarded, intensely private moments, yearning for Home.
