Have you ever seen the colour indigo? The answer is no. Most people never do. Artists depict it as a cross between blue and violet. Science claims it simply doesn't exist. They're wrong. It does exist. And once seen, it's never forgotten. Nearly always invisible itself, it holds the very secret of the attainable condition of invisibility. Sent to Rome to execute his estranged father's will, Jack Chambers finds himself increasingly aware of the power this man he barely knew has over him, even in death. The power to make him see indigo ...

    As always I love the way Joyce has you teetering between surreal, reality and fantasy. A story devoured in a day as you don't want to put it down. Joyce always leaves you questioning the world around you, leaving you with a thirst for knowledge but delighting in his creativity.

    4.0 out of 5 stars you'll like it, but you won't know why....
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 June 2000
    Indigo then, I was recommended this book by nothing more than the cover. Purple has always been my favourite colour and this tome positively oozes it from the shelf. And so, on a whim, I purchased the book and started reading it on the train. Trains are the only places I get to read these days. There, and in the bath. But unlike baths, train journeys to work are of a finite length; they must, by their very nature, come to an end. And the day must begin.
    Wish is a shame because Indigo is such an intriguing novel, full of odd little bits that catch not only the imagination, but the curious mind as well - could that work? Yes, I think it could - that to have turn over the corner of any page - to mark your place, to help you find it again later - is really the last thing you want to do. Still, it does mean that there is more to read later.
    Indigo is what? Well, it s a mystery, of sorts. But as to what the object off mystery is the reader is left quite unsure. Yes, there is this change artists cult revolving around the no dead father. But there are the relationships that he had as well. And a love story between a brother and sister. And that just isn't allowed. I have subtitled this review, or reaction, "you'll like it, but you won't know why..." And that I think is probably true. Well written, yes, and captivating too. But indigo evokes more than just a literary reaction. It is very aesthetic as well. Maybe because the main protagonists are all artists, perhaps it is because Joyce has an affinity with artists, but his descriptions of Rome and of Chicago are not just good, but actually appear on the eye of your mind.
    Or at least they did for me.
    Indigo is a very fine book. And I suspect that Joyce is a very talented writer. And I do keep meaning to pick up another of his, but haven't quite got around to yet.

    Reviewed in Japan on 7 March 2003
    Verified Purchase
    自分と母親を捨てた父親の遺言で、主人公はInvisibility: A Manual of Light という奇妙な内容の父親の本を出版しなければならなくなる。それは、blue とvioletの間に存在するIndigoという色。あるアヤシイ訓練後（Invisibilityはそのマニュアル）、特定の場所・方法で見ることができる幻の色。主人公がその訓練を試してみるうちに、不思議な体験をすることになる。
    一方、死んだという父親は本当は生きているのではないかとう疑問がめばえはじめ、遺産を受け継ぐ行方不明の女性をさがしまわるうち、まるで父親の目に見えない糸であやつられるかのように、知らす知らずのうちにIndigoを探し求める主人公。結局、Indigoが存在するのかしないのか不明のままラストを迎えるかに見えるが…？そのラストがすばらしい。
    Indigoとはなにか？ ある女性がこう答える。
    It represents what you hope to find. Love. Revelation. Inspiration. The moment that pours into your life and makes it bigger than it was before. The thing is, the moment you stop looking for Indigo, your soul is dying.
    どこにでもあり、どこにもないもの。それでも、それゆえに、人は捜し求めるのか？なかなか見ることができない、手に入れることができないからこそ、美しいのだろう。人が求めることをやめた時、魂は死んでゆくのだ。

    3.0 out of 5 stars Novel-Noir Tinged with Seedy Blue/Violet Ambiance
    Reviewed in the United States on 29 December 2001
    Indigo . . . the exotic word conjurs up an electric gleam of color between blue and violet--a color that supposedly allows the viewer to attain the state of invisibility and yet eludes the naked eye under all but the most laboratory-perfect circumstances---circumstances that Jack Chambers's millionaire father seems to have mastered and has laid down for his initiates in his primer entitled "Invisibility: A Manual of Light."
    Jack's absentee father has died and as executor of his estate, Jack is stipulated by the will to publish the manuscript before he can collect his bequest. At first, Jack thinks the whole premise is crazy, yet he attempts the exercises in the manual on a whim, finding himself drawn not only into a confused state of mind but into his father's macabre world where murder and manipulation reign.
    The story's dual settings in Chicago and Rome embues the taut little plot with an ambiance both new and old which reflects the author's combination of an everyday somber reality to an edgy feral mythology. Jack's attraction to his previously unknown half-sister adds a raw frustration to the the drama as well as depth to his middle-age desperation.
    While I cannot say that I thought this novel had the most satisfying ending, I did find the reading of it enjoyable enough to recommend. References made to ancient Roman practices and their Indigo/Invisibility-related symbolism should have been better explained although the supernatural implications were enough to keep me entertained.
