Synopsis
An original and unusual novel, the work of a wise and gentle man."" - TLS. ""Readers familiar with the unique style of satiric fable developed by Eastern European writers in this century should welcome this brilliant contribution to the genre...Szechter's book combines fantasy, satire, mounting terror, and a ringing defiance of oppression."" - Booklist. ""Contains a masterful array of playful plot devices. By means of a broken clock, young Jozek is able to unite himself with Jozef, the man he is to become. Together, and with the help and hindrance of an omnipresent critic, they write a book - this book. There is a marvelous fairy tale atmosphere to the story, as Jozek's boyhood friends are in the next instant grown government officials and dissidents, and political decisions are reached about the doctrinal acceptability of the book even as it is written."" - Publishers Weekly.
