Description of A Floating Phrase by Trent Portigal
A Floating Phrase explores the nature of art, fear and snow puddles through the experiences of Cesarine, a stop-motion animator caught up in the intrigues of international diplomacy in 1970s continental Europe.
At that time, national delegations for international conferences on European issues, such as those leading up to the Helsinki Accords, typically included defectors from the other side of the Iron Curtain. This led to scientists and artists with little experience in diplomacy being involved in high-level politics.

This book sounds fascinating, intriguing and unique. Thanks.
This is an unusual topic dealing with the Cold War.
I have read about the defection of Rudolph Nureyev and Mikhail Baryshnikov, so this book should be very interesting.
This reminds me of a movie but I can’t recall the title. It was deep and emotional, and revealed so much I would never have thought about. I believe I’d enjoy this book.
