Piranesi

Susanna Clarke

This month, I wanted to share a book that has stayed with me long after turning the final page: Piranesi by Susanna Clarke.

If you haven’t read it yet, it’s a brilliant, hauntingly beautiful novel set inside an infinite, labyrinthine house filled with thousands of marble statues and an ocean trapped within its lower halls.

The story follows Piranesi, who spends his days mapping the tides, tending to the bones of the dead, and marvelling at the endless beauty around him, completely oblivious to how or why he ended up there.

What struck me most was how Clarke explores isolation. Rather than framing his solitude as a tragedy, Piranesi approaches his world with pure reverence, curiosity, and quiet joy. It’s a gentle, slow-burn mystery that feels almost meditative.

​If you’re looking for an escape that is visually rich, deeply atmospheric, and ultimately full of heart, I can’t recommend it enough.

Are you reading along?

Atomos VII

A Winged Victory for the Sullen

​Atmos VII relies on sparse, sustained string textures and subtle electronic elements that evoke immense physical space. Listening to it while reading mirrors the feeling of walking through Piranesi’s endless, marble-walled halls, where every footstep and tide movement echoes infinitely.
