Review:
As satiric and absurd as something by early Evelyn Waugh or Lawrence Durrell. The farce is sustained with touches of comic nightmare.
Kadare combines metaphysical inquiry with social realism . . . [and] a comic touch, though one dark and penetrating in the manner of Samuel Beckett's fiction.
From the Publisher:
Kadare combines metaphysical inquiry with social realism . . . [and] a comic touch, though one dark and penetrating in the manner of Samuel Beckett's fiction.
A haunting yet humorous evocation of a society dangerously trapped in its past.
