Review
At the heart of this acrid trilogy, in all its studied understatement and lack of portentousness, we can feel the author s slow-burning rage at the wholesale erasure of certainty and continuity in the world of her childhood and adolescence. At the same time we sense Kristof saturninely enjoying this annihilation for its imaginative potential. She will reassemble a shattered world on her own rigorous terms, and watch us wince and shudder in the process. --Jonathan Keates, Times Literary Supplement
About the Author
Agota Kristof, born in Csikvánd, Hungary, in 1935, became an exile in French-speaking Switzerland in 1956. Working in a factory, she slowly learned the language of her adopted country. Her first novel, Le Grand Cahier (1986; The Notebook), gained international recognition and was translated into more than thirty languages; it was followed by The Proof (La Preuve, 1988) and The Third Lie (Le Troisième Mensonge, 1991), as well as plays and further novels. She died in 2011
