Book summaryThis novel was censored before finally being published in Budapest in 1986. It is the story of a young gay Hungarian writer living through the Stalinist 1950s, whose father--a state prosecutor--commits suicide after the 1956 Hungarian uprising. Media reviews"An imposing novel of ideas closely related in spirit to the great fictional syntheses of Hermann Broch and Robert Musil, as well as to...its specific inspiration: Proust's 'Remembrance of Things Past'....Nadas's brilliant book is an epic of uncertainty, a dazzling fictional demonstration of the relativity of our efforts to understand ourselves and our world.....One of the major contemporary European novels." |
