The Land on the Horizon

2026

Auvers-sur-Oise, 1890. Vincent Van Gogh dies broke and ignored. René, a municipal clerk, had the fortune — or misfortune — of knowing him.

More than a century later, Gaël finds René’s diary and sends it to his wife Nicole, a journalist preparing to leave for war-torn Sudan. Nicole reads it from the other side of the world. And something begins to happen.

A novella across three epochs and four voices — a nineteenth-century diary, contemporary emails, a letter written before leaving for a war zone, and a psychologist’s report.

“Questions are wings that the sun cannot burn.”
