The Lighthouse and the Sea
Former President Hui Lan's third and final book continues his literary ascent with a dark, haunting story of loss and grief. Building on the themes of his previous work, The Shadow over Modagami, Hui pushes the reader to consider the natural world, familial relations, and death through the lens of a gripping tale of two sailors lost at sea, pursued by an ever-present lighthouse. The tale of these two men touches on traditional Verleschdiean ideals, but with a Kjanuan touch in order to connect to the universal truths that all Utopians share. Hui's gripping tale has received two Annelbury nominations, and readers can expect to get lost in the murky waters of this tale...
