<DIV><B>Winner of the World Fantasy Award for Best Novel: Cley has mastered the art of physiognomy&mdash;and now he is about to learn its ultimate truth&#160;</B><BR /><BR /> In the Well-Built City, Master Drachton Below&rsquo;s power is absolute, and he will not hesitate to use it. His primary method of control is through his physiognomists, who are trained to read a person&rsquo;s face and body, perceiving that person&rsquo;s past and secrets&mdash;and even events yet to come. These seers are the judges and jury. Now Drachton has found something that could extend his reign for eternity: a fruit that bestows immortality. To investigate its whereabouts, Below sends cold, collected physiognomist Cley to the remote mining town of Anamasobia. One at a time Cley interrogates the townspeople, performing his usual fact finding without issue. That is, until he meets the beautiful and bright Arla, who harbors a secret that could potentially turn Cley&rsquo;s world upside down&mdash;and topple the Well-Built City itself.<BR /> &#160;<BR /> A Kafkaesque journey into the unknown,&#160;<I>The Physiognomy</I>&#160;is an award-winning trip through a land where the line between reality and imagination is constantly blurred.</DIV>
