Dive into the world an ocean dreams of . . .
Nothing of the ocean, its tides, or its depths, should desire happiness, yet water flows to the tune of thoughtfulness. Dreaming of its own humanity, inhabiting Venner an analyst, the ocean explores life in a city where the monotony of a desk job calls like a siren song. The idyll is fractured by those who discover his true nature. Magical forces seek to control the ocean, its impossible forces, as Venner struggles to survive and to keep out of monstrous hands--his sense of self.
An Ocean Gazes Through Human Glass is a lyrical, magical journey. It explores all humans' conflicting desires to both accept their world and consume it. With prose as beautiful as a dream and characters that defy imagination, you'll find yourself immersed in a world of both treachery and possibility.
Emily Nguyen explores wonder in her debut novel An Ocean Gazes Through Human Glass and in her daily vocation. She is a rocket engineer in southern California who makes dreams fly both in real life and on the page.
