Synopsis

A writer dies in a gas explosion in Vienna, three Chechen refugees are murdered, a pharmacist tries to assert herself with her child against adverse circumstances, an actor returns to the place of his childhood, a journalist travels to Japan on the run from herself, and an old man is eyewitness when in Venice in 1902 the campanile a falls.
In Gerhard Roth's grandiose novel of deceptions, nothing is as it seems, and anything is possible: uncertainty is the hidden adventure of everyday life. The floor plan of a riddle is itself a mystery, mirror of the great puzzle of our lives.

Beautiful, abysmal, long resonating.
Jörg Magenau, Süddeutsche Zeitung

»This is beautiful to sink. For dreaming and pondering. For fear and hope. Here a writer gives everything and has become a poet."
Peter Pisa, Courier
