Krátky popis
"So, as you see, I am familiar with the case. However, we can’t
discuss it unless you learn more about some other court cases, so
that you can compare your father’s trial with other, more baffling
cases, and see it in the context of the madness that reigned at the
time." In Ján Johanides riveting Slovak novel, you the reader are
thrust in medias res, assuming the role of a silent partner in a
one-sided conversation with someone you know nothing about. As the
pages turn, you must grasp onto significant details to piece
together who you are, who the narrator is, and why you have sought
him out. As the story unfolds you come to learn that the old
archivist, who can’t seem to stay on point, has both a tragic
history and the keys to unlocking your family’s darkest secret. A
secret that may or may not involve the Czechoslovak secret police,
American and Soviet intelligence, Israeli politics, and a tire full
of 90,000 dollars. Set after the fall of communism and the
dissolution of Czechoslovakia, casual paranoia permeates the novel
as it reveals how the madness of the Communist era has led to the
instability of the present. Written in 1995, this haunting novel
that evokes the spirit of John Le Carre and the style of Carlos
Fuentes shines a searchlight on issues that plague post-Communist
Europe today.
