An anonymous man, recently released from prison, struggles to stand on his feet, teetering through the dangerous and dark passages of the "empty place." He encounters faces and monsters that, along with the apathetic and muffled voice of the land itself, compose the contour of a path that seems rather predetermined.

The Empty Place is a novel filled with human voices and chthonic whispers. A harsh story that resembles a mosaic and speaks of the geographical and psychological landscape of belonging, the darkness and confusion of the "root," and the violence of desolation.
