In a haunting world under totalitarianism, an individual’s unsuccessful quest for truth, agency, and understanding. B, a journalist, travels to the South of an unnamed desert country for a mysterious mission to write a report about the recent strikes in an offshore oil rig. From the beginning of his trip, he is faced with a cruel and broken landscape of drought and decay, superstitious believers of evil winds and spirits, and corrupt entities focused on manipulation and censorship. As he tries to defend himself against his unknown enemies, we learn about his father’s disappearance, his fading love with his wife, and his encounter with an unknown woman. South is a hallucinatory novel about totalitarianism, surveillance, alienation, and guilt that questions the forces that control us. A RARE MACHINES BOOK
