When the Museum is Closed cover

A quirky, joyful queer love story about a lonely museum worker who falls in love with a statue of Venus, from the author of cult hit Diary of a Void Rika Horiuchi's new part-time job is to converse with a statue of the Venus de Milo - in Latin - every Monday, when the museum is closed. Initially reluctant, Rika starts to enjoy her strange new job- she and Venus talk about everything. They fall in love, and (with the help of a statue of Artemis' hunting dog) eventually break free. This fresh and original new novel from the author of Diary of a Void confirms Emi Yagi as one of the most exciting Japanese writers published in English today.
