How We Dissolve

How We Dissolve

A novel about love, longing, and the lines we draw—until they blur.

When Jónsi, a quiet visual artist from the far north, steps into the orbit of Ceel, a dazzling and volatile violin prodigy, his life tilts off-axis. Ceel is brilliance incarnate—beautiful, haunted, adored. And dangerous, in all the softest ways. As their lives entangle against the backdrop of gilded music halls and their undercurrents of decay, Jónsi finds himself swept into a world where intimacy and performance collide, and love becomes indistinguishable from myth.

Told through shimmering fragments of memory, dreamlike interludes, and sudden ruptures of sensuality, How We Dissolve is a meditation on desire and dissonance, identity and art. Between overlit hotel rooms, museum corridors, and nightclub shadows, Jónsi must decide whether what he's found is salvation—or just another stage set for collapse.
