Description
“We knew very little with any certainty. One thing, though, was confirmed by everyone: that we were not the only ones flooded. For all we knew, every city across the globe had suffered a comparable fate”.
As an unnamed city finds itself partially submerged below water, a small community of friends and lovers is forced to adapt to a world that has been radically transformed. An arresting vision of the wages of ecological disaster, Our Distance Became Water is at once lyrical, moving, and psychologically acute. Endlessly inventive in both its style and its substance, this is a singularly powerful literary response to environmental change.
Our Distance Became Water is the debut novel of Andreas Philippopoulos-Mihalopoulos, author of the acclaimed short story collection Book of Water.

Advance Praise
Praise for Book of Water:
“Despite their urgency, these mesmerising encounters between humans and other bodies of water have a deep stillness which lures the reader ever deeper into a surreal and mutable underworld."
- Nancy Campbell
"[The stories] are so condensed and beautifully nuanced they can be read almost as a sequence of prose poems linked by a series of ‘liquid bridges’. Book of Water will haunt you with the resonance of its poetic undoing long after it has slipped from your hands."
-Alisson Smith, Lincoln Review
