Book Synopsis


A second memoir, alternating with the first, is a novel the narrator is composing about a refined Belle Epoque aesthete, whose anti-bourgeois transgressions seem like emotionally overcharged versions of the narrator's own experiences.

Trade Review
Original and exhilarating work that demands to be read again * Sunday Times *
The greatest novel written in our time, one of the great books of the century -- Susan Sontag
One of the most important novels of our time * Times Literary Supplement *
The monumental event of recent Hungarian history, the fated uprising of 1956, is accounted for in the most affecting manner imaginable in these haunted pages * Daily Telegraph *
What makes this Book of Memories so memorable is the sheer quality of the prose, its subtlety and intelligence, which shines through what seems an elegant and unobtrusively American translation * The Times *
