Philosopher Alain de Botton’s latest book, The Architecture of Happiness, looks at the spaces we live in
and why some make us feel happier than others. In her novel Duke of Egypt, Margriet de Moor explores
notions of home and permanence among Europe’s Sinti and Roma peoples. For Lee Stringer, places
such as Grand Central Station, shelters, and tunnels were his home for more than a decade, while
Carlos María Domínguez writes about a house made of books in his latest novel, The House of Paper.
