Stories begin, continue, change or stop, but Venice never ends. One character in one city. The stories of a thirty-year-old Israeli girl who searches for and follows love, and in an intimate way sews together the new space she finds herself in. From a small, unremarkable city, she arrived in Venice alone, wrapped in a heavy coat, with a small suitcase, few friends and big expectations; ready to give up everything she knew. She is not a tourist, but a refugee, and her life will intersect with a complex and unstable city, standing but sinking – perhaps like her. Bars, greengrocers, bridges, boats, a rented apartment, churches, alleys and random people enter her life, at first as if from a fog, later in a whisper, and in the end the city teaches her – and perhaps us too – a thing or two about life. A Whore in Venice is Elari Carmon's debut novella, a hymn to the concept of love and to urban life as the perfect refuge for modern man.
