Rain or Coincidences
Release date December 3rd, 2024. Pre-orders available now!
Pre-orders include an extra piece of ephemera in the book.
Rain or Coincidences is a window, something you look through but which keeps you at a remove, watching. Take a long walk around and spend fragments of time with an interconnected cast of strangers. Told in six acts, this book is about the near-misses and the formations made by our weather, our comings and goings. From rained-out weddings to oysters inventing their own tides to an interactive video game made by an ex, this visual novel is a completely and complexly built world that puts a narrative to the feeling of longing. Filled with artifacts such as notebook pages, an old school assignment, and a radio playlist, this story embodies the human impulse of trying to make a record, with a photograph, a transcript, or a poem. This book seeks to be that record, to preserve a mood, a day, a conversation. It will remind you that a chance meeting or an unexpected rainstorm can change everything.
RIYL: Agnes Varda, Wong Kar-wai, James Joyce’s Ulysses.
