The Shift by Augustin Cambau

‘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 novel by French painter Augustin Cambau, THE SHIFT is a rare meditation on the still extant possibilities of spiritual awakening, amongst all of the banality and tedium of everyday life.
