Congrats to Kathleen Rooney on her new book, The Listening Room!
The Listening Room by Kathleen Rooney is a novel in flash fictions that looks at the paintings and life of the Belgian Surrealist artist René Magritte from the perspectives of his wife Georgette and their shared series of beloved Pomeranian dogs, all called Loulou. The hybrid book draws heavily on Rooney’s recent work as the co-editor of Magritte’s Selected Writings, a lost manuscript that she rediscovered, edited, and brought out for the first time ever in an English edition in Fall 2016 in both the UK and the United States.
