In Seiobo There Below, we see her returning again and again to mortal realms, searching for a glimpse of perfection. Beauty, in Krasznahorkais new novel, reflects, however fleetingly, the sacred - even if we are mostly unable to bear it. Seiobo shows us an ancient Buddha being restored; Perugino managing his workshop; a Japanese Noh actor rehearsing; a fanatic of Baroque music lecturing a handful of old villagers; tourists intruding into the rituals of Japans most sacred shrine; a heron hunting. Over these scenes and more - structured by the Fibonacci sequence - Seiobo hovers, watching it all.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51972115366176,"sku":"NEW0811219674","price":20.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71e5znyPLKL.jpg?v=1783792887","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/seiobo-there-below-0811219674","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
