Nora Nadjarian

The Republic of Love
a micronovel

"I fell over, almost, I lost balance, I saw him. He was carrying the globe in his hands and I could see myself in many years' time, walking with him hand in hand, in Buenos Aires, in Rio de Janeiro, in Auckland, in Vienna, or whichever city his fingers happened to be on right now. My heart was beating so fast it was impossible to think."

In The Republic of Love a woman tries to come to terms with her past. In flashbacks and dream-like sequences, parts of her life unravel before us, but we are never certain what is real and what is not, what really took place and what didn't. A chance meeting with a homeless man is a turning point in her life.
