The Architecture of Silence

About this book

In the bitter, sunless summer of 1816, a morphine-addicted cynic recounts his youth in the decadent, pre-revolutionary Naples of the 1780s. As he dictates his memoirs from a crumbling villa near Lake Geneva, the narrative weaves between the freezing present and the opulent past, unraveling a complex web of art forgery, obsession, and the slow decay of morality. His past is haunted by a volatile romance and a dangerous scheme that challenged the very nature of truth, leaving scars that even time and narcotics cannot erase.
