Description

---

Confused and unwell, alone in a faraway land, through blind luck, and as suddenly as one moment changes to another, an ordinary man is confronted by a serene epiphany. Unsure of its mysterious origins, he returns to Paris indelibly marked and foolishly flees to the South, where his previously staid existence is thrown into exquisite chaos.
A poignant debut novella by French painter Augustin Cambau, THE SHIFT is a rare meditation on the still extant possibilities of spiritual awakening, amongst all of the banaity and tedium of everyday life.
