The Theory of Clouds is a novel of clouds: both historical and imaginative; how they shape our passions, our storms, our stories.
It is a first novel for Audeguy and won the Grand Prize of the Grand Academy in France, as well as other awards. It tells the story of Akira Kumo, who survived Hiroshima, and has become an eccentric collector of everything "clouds": from paintings to photographs to meteorological studies. He hires a woman to catalogue his collection, and a quest begins that is both surprising and wondrous: where love, like clouds, will form and transform lives.
